Shake The Sugar Tree

Love, you're getting lazy

You're forgettin' to give me

Sweet sugar words that I wanna hear

You've been neglectin' me

You know jealously, it is a bitter as a green spring berry

And just like fruit from a fickle vine

You turn sweet in the nick of time

Love you only come alive when you're losin' me

And it's a childish game

I've got to shake you up just to wake you up

To make you love me

I'll shake the sugar tree

Til I feel your love fallin' all around me

You've got to tend to what you planted

And if you take my love for granted baby

I'll shake the sugar tree

Another night and you're sleepin'

I'm awake and I'm dreamin'

Oh honey 'bout the way that it used to be

And little time's gone by

Do you think that I'm content

With the cookin' and the payin' of rent

No I wanna know if your love's all spent

I'll shake the sugar tree

Til I feel your love fallin' all around me

You've got to tend to what you planted

And if you take my love for granted baby

I'll shake the sugar tree

I've got to raise some commotion

Before you show me some real emotion

I'll shake the sugar tree

Til I feel your love fallin' all around me

You've got to tend to what you planted

And if you take my love for granted baby

I'll shake the sugar tree

You know I'm gonna shake the sugar tree

Til I feel your love fallin' all around me

You've got to tend to what you planted

And if you take my love for granted baby

I'll shake the sugar tree
