Sugar on My Tongue

Verse

Corner booth at Lolly's diner

Six fifteen, the neon's humming

You slide in wearing cherry lipstick

Talking low and steady drumming

I ain't touched my coffee cup yet

Got no use for cream or sugar

Cause you laugh and tilt your head back

And the whole room starts to color

Pre-Chorus

Now what's a man supposed to do

When the sweetest thing he's tasted

Just walked in wearing midnight blue

And all his cool got wasted

Chorus

I got sugar on my tongue, baby

Ever since you said my name

Sugar on my tongue, baby

Sweetest kind of trouble, sweetest kind of flame

You ain't poured a drop of honey

But I'm sticky just the same

Got that sugar on my tongue

Verse

Three weeks now I've been circling

Like a moth round your porch light

Watching how your fingers drum

Every table, left to right

You caught me staring past the jukebox

Didn't blink, just raised your glass

Now I'm tasting cinnamon and trouble

Every time you walk on past

Pre-Chorus

Now what's a man supposed to do

When the sweetest thing he's tasted

Just walked in wearing midnight blue

And all his cool got wasted

Chorus

I got sugar on my tongue, baby

Ever since you said my name

Sugar on my tongue, baby

Sweetest kind of trouble, sweetest kind of flame

You ain't poured a drop of honey

But I'm sticky just the same

Got that sugar on my tongue

Bridge

Maybe it's the way you say my name slow

Rolling it like peaches down a summer road

Maybe I don't need a reason, don't need proof

Just need you closer, that's the honest truth

So pour it on, girl, pour it on

Chorus

I got sugar on my tongue, baby

Ever since you said my name

Sugar on my tongue, baby

Sweetest kind of trouble, sweetest kind of flame

You ain't poured a drop of honey

But I'm sticky just the same

Got that sugar, got that sugar

Got that sugar on my tongue
