# Oh, I may be your dish of tea

# But, baby, don’t you sugar me

# Don’t stir me, boy

# Or try to spoon

# Don’t sugar me

# 'Cause us is throon

# Oh, I won’t sip a lip with you

# Less you want a granulated lump or two

# Just roll them eyes

# Right out the door

# Them saucer eyes

# Ain’t square no more

# Now all them things, them diamond rings

# Them stuff you promised me

# Were figments, Newton

# Sure as shootin’

# Shootin’ sure as A, B

# See, the teapot spouts that the kettle’s blue

# It don’t work out, that spout is true

# Just boiI away, boy

# Don’t sit and brew

# Don’t sugar me

# 'Cause us is through

She knows what she knows  
I know what she’s thinking  
Sugar kisses  
Sugar kisses  
Just when you think she’s yours  
She’s flown to other shores  
To laugh at how you break  
And melt into this lake

You’ll flow down her river  
But you’ll never give her  
Lips like sugar  
Sugar kisses  
Lips like sugar  
Sugar kisses

She’ll be my mirror  
Reflect what I am  
A loser and a winner  
The king of Siam  
And my Siamese twin  
Alone on the river  
Mirror kisses  
Mirror kisses

Lips like sugar  
Sugar kisses  
Lips like sugar  
Sugar kisses

Love is like a bomb, baby c’mon get it on  
Livin’ like a lover with a radar phone  
Lookin’ like a tramp, like a video vamp  
Demolition woman, can I be your man?  
Razzle ‘n’ a dazzle ‘n’ a flash a little light  
Television lover, baby go all night  
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet  
Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah  
Hey! C’mon!  
Take a bottle, shake it up  
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me  
Ooh, in the name of love  
Pour some sugar on me  
C’mon, fire me up  
Pour your sugar on me  
Oh, I can’t get enough  
I’m hot, sticky sweet  
From my head to my feet, yeah

Hot sticky scenes you know what I mean  
Like a desert sun that burns my skin  
I’ve been waiting for her so long  
Open the sky (and let her come down)  
Here comes the rain I love the rain  
Here she comes again  
Rain  
Rain  
Rain

Love, reign o’er me  
Rain on me, rain on me  
Love, reign o’er me  
Rain on me, rain on me

On the dry and dusty road  
The nights we spend apart alone  
I need to get back home to cool, cool rain

I can’t sleep, and I lay, and I think  
The night is hot and black as ink  
Oh God, I need a drink of cool, cool rain

Sleep  
Sleep tonight  
And may your dreams  
Be realized

If the thunder cloud  
Passes rain  
So let it rain  
Rain down on him

It’s hard to see how the tables have turned  
It’s hard to see how the people have learned  
It’s hard to watch the past drizzling past  
It’s hard to watch them picking the cast

And it stacks up badly that it never makes sense  
You sense that sensation is who’s paying the rent  
And she beckons to you with her fingers and lies  
She says: “Can’t you slice the price of your paradise?”

You’re saying, “No no no I must be on my way  
But it really has been a pleasant night…”  
And you go so slow, hope they’ll ask you to stay  
And indifference gives you a fright

I knew I couldn’t take much more, I started making for the door  
And as I passed my date, I let her kiss me  
I grabbed my coat and stepped outside  
I stuck my thumb out for a ride  
Departing knowing they would never miss me

Well, I’ve been haunted in my sleep  
You’ve been staring in my dreams  
Lord I miss you.  
I’ve been waiting in the hall  
Been waiting on your call  
When the phone rings  
It’s just some friends of mine that say,  
“Hey, what’s the matter man?  
We’re gonna come around at twelve  
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin’ to meet you  
We’re gonna bring a case of wine  
Hey, let’s go mess and fool around  
You know, like we used to”

No New Year’s Day to celebrate  
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away  
No first of spring  
No song to sing  
In fact here’s just another ordinary day

No April rain  
No flowers bloom  
No wedding Saturday within the month of June  
But what it is, is something true  
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love you  
I just called to say how much I care  
I just called to say I love you  
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree  
There will be an answer, let it be  
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see  
There will be an answer, let it be  
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be  
There will be an answer, let it be  
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be  
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be  
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be  
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me  
Shine until tomorrow, let it be  
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me  
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be  
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be  
There will be an answer, let it be

Remember, tonight we’re gonna run till dawn  
Remember, tonight we’re gonna say  
We’ll never stop we got a good thing goin’ on  
I know you’ve heard it all before  
But I really need you darlin’ every day I need you more

You shine a little love on my life  
You shine a little love on my life  
You shine a little love on my life and let me see

Can you understand? (Yes I understand)  
Can you feel it’s right? (I know it is)  
Will you be the same? (I’ll do it all again)  
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh!

I believe in you  
You know the door to my very soul  
Youre the light in my deepest darkest hour  
Youre my saviour when I fall  
And you may not think  
I care for you  
When you know down inside  
That I really do  
And it’s me you need to show

Across the sea lies the fountain of renewal,  
Where you will see that the whole cause of your loneliness  
Can be measured in dreams that transcend all these lies  
And I wish and I pray that there may come a day  
For a saviour’s arms…

Cold, no I cant believe your heart is cold  
Maybe slow to warm from a long, lonely night

But just let someone start believing in you,  
let him hold out his hand  
Let him touch you and watch what happens

One someone who can look in your eyes,  
and see into your heart  
Let him find you and watch what happens

It’s happening  
Can’t you see the edge calling to us?  
In spite of everything that lives and moves

In silence I breathe again, I flow and descend  
I’ll take what I deserve but can you help me understand  
Why should I deserve a solitary word?

When words are walls I am the end  
I’ll make them fall, I am  
Tearing walls down, I am  
Tearing walls down, I am

Basic elemental instinct to survive  
Stirs the higher passions  
Thrill to be alive

Alternating currents in a tidewater surge  
Rational resistance to an unwise urge  
(anything can happen)

From the point of conception  
To the moment of Truth  
At the point of surrender  
To the burden of proof

From the point of ignition  
To the final drive  
The point of the journey is not to arrive  
(anything can happen)

Basic temperamental filters on our eyes  
Alter our perceptions  
Lenses polarize

Alternating currents force a show of hands  
Rational responses force a change of plans  
(anything can happen)

From a point on the compass  
To magnetic north  
The point of the needle moving back and forth

From the point of entry –  
Until the candle is burned  
The point of departure is not to return  
(anything can happen)

I set the wheels in motion  
turn up all the machines  
activate the programs  
and run behind the scene

I set the clouds in motion  
turn up light and sound  
activate the window  
and watch the world go 'round –  
(anything can happen)

You know how that rabbit feels  
Going under your speeding wheels  
Bright images flashing by  
Like windshields towards a fly  
Frozen in the fatal climb  
But the wheels of time  
Just pass you by  
Wheels can take you around  
Wheels can cut you down  
We can go from boom to bust  
From dreams to a bowl of dust  
We can fall from rockets’ red glare  
Down to “Brother can you spare…”  
Another war  
Another wasteland  
And another lost generation

Begin the day with a friendly voice  
A companion unobtrusive  
Plays that song that’s so elusive  
And the magic music makes your morning mood

Off on your way, hit the open road  
There is magic at your fingers  
For the Spirit ever lingers  
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude

Invisible airwaves crackle with life  
Bright antennae bristle with the energy  
Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength  
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free
