Sugar is sweet
but you're much sweeter.
flowers are pretty
but you're even prettier.
And you're love is warmer than a summer day
but you're so young and we can't go on this way.

You're the fruit on the tree in the Garden of Eden.
I should keep away
but I feel the need
and my love grows stronger
every day
but you're so young and we can't go on this way.

It hurts to part with you now
But our love's the kind they don't allow.
So just hold on
cause I'll be gone
but always remember

sugar is sweet
but you're much sweeter,
flowers are pretty
but you're even prettier and my love's grows stronger
every day.
But you're so young and we can't go on this way.
