Love, you're getting lazy.

You're forgetting to give me

sweet sugar,

words that I wanna hear.

You been neglecting me,

you know jealousy it is bitter as a green spring berry.

And just like fruit from a fickle vine,

you turn sweet in the nick o' time.

Love, you only come alive

when you're losing me.

And it's a childish game,

I gotta shake you up just ot wake you up

to make you love me.



(chorus)

I'll shake the sugar tree,

'til I feel your love falling all around me.

You better tell me what you're planning,

and if you take my love for granted, baby,

I'll shake the sugar tree.



Another night and you're sleeping,

I'm awake and I'm dreaming.

Oh honey, 'bout the way that it used to be.

A little time's gone by,

now do you think that I'm content with the cooking

and the payin' the rent? No I wanna know if your love's all spent.



(repeat chorus)



I've got to raise some commotion,

before you show me some real emotion.



(repeat chorus and fade
