Sugar coated love, you gave me on a plate

I took a bite and then I looked to see what I had ate

I found I had a cinder all covered up in white

That old sugar coated love is something I can't bite



You say you are leaving me for another man

He has all the wealth and charm and not my kind of brand

Baby I fell down on my knees a pleading for your love

Can't understand what I saw in a sugar coated love



You called me your sugar plum, your baby and your pet

Said I was your Romeo and you my Juliet

I thought you were my angel, my little sugar dove

You sure had me fooled, babe, with that sugar coated love
