SugarMan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Skies are blue when I'm with you
They turn to grey when you're away
I'm not your doll, I'm not your pet
But I'm not my own ever since we met
I edit my thoughts, I edit my words
I eat and drink till nothing hurts
But one of these days, I will turn to hate
And I'll bite the hand that feeds me cakes
Sugar man, sugar man, sugar man, sugar man
Sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy
Sugar man, sugar man, sugar man, sugar man
Sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy
Sugar rot your teeth, it'll make you too high
There's not a lot sugar can't buy
In a world of salt, of sweat and tears
Sometimes you need a little sugar to get through the years
They set a big table, didn't save you a seat
Just find a lap to sit on and you'll get something to eat
When you're served the tea, watch the sugar dissolve
Just don't go confusing sugar with love
Sugar man, sugar man, sugar man, sugar man
Sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy
Sugar man, sugar man, sugar man, sugar man
Sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy
Sugar man, sugar man, sugar man, sugar man
Sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy
Sugar man, sugar man, sugar man, sugar man
Sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy
My mama was cold as she was told
She'd never been young, so she never grew old
She took a deep breath and never exhaled
Lived the rest of her life from under a veil
I grew up quick, but I grew up strong
Didn't get to be her baby too long
Whenever I'd eat, I just craved sweet
What I couldn't get at home, I got in the streets
Sugar man, sugar man, sugar man, sugar man
Sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy
Sugar man, sugar man, sugar man, sugar man
Sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy
Sugar man, sugar man, sugar man, sugar man
Sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy
Sugar man, sugar man, sugar man, sugar man
Sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy
