I want a little sugar in my bowl
I want a little sweetness down in my soul
I could stand some lovin', oh, so bad
I feel so funny, I feel so sad

I want a little steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go
What?s the matter, daddy?
Come on, save my soul
I want some sugar in my bowl, I ain't foolin'
I want some sugar in my bowl

Oh, you been acting different, I've been told
Soothe me, I want some sugar in my bowl

I want a little steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go
What?s the matter, what?s the matter, daddy?
Come on save my soul
I want some sugar in my bowl, I ain't foolin'
I want some sugar in my bowl
