When you've been 'bused and misery and scorn
Been following you 'round
And all the while there's trouble and trial
That's battering you down
When all you see is suffering and strife
There really ain't no doubt despondency's rife
I'm telling you indeed some sugar's what you need
To sweeten up your life
In all this world of struggling and woe
And meddling with man
There's just one thing that really I do know
And truly understand
When you're in vain and woe and despair
And living so sour that nothing can seem fair
Then find you a true love so sugar be there
To sweeten up your life
When you've been 'bused and misery and scorn
Been following you 'round
And all the while there's trouble and trial
That's battering you down
When all you see is suffering and strife
There really ain't no doubt despondency is rife
I'm telling you indeed some sugar's what you need
To sweeten up your life
In all this world of struggling and woe
And meddling with man
There's just one thing that really I do know
And truly understand
When you're in vain and woe and despair
And living so sour that nothing can seem fair
Then find you a true love so sugar be there
To sweeten up your life
When you've been 'bused and misery and scorn
Been following you 'round
And all the while there's trouble and trial
That's battering you down
When all you see is suffering and strife
There really ain't no doubt despondency is rife
I'm telling you indeed some sugar's what you need
To sweeten up your life
In all this world of struggling and woe
And meddling with man
There's just one thing that really I do know
And truly understand
When you're in vain and woe and despair
And living so sour that nothing can seem fair
Then find you a true love so sugar be there
To sweeten up your life
To sweeten up your life
To sweeten up your life
To sweeten up your life
