Sugar

Country

Acoustic Country

Verse 1
I poured some cereal in my bowl,
Wanted to fill my hunger hole.
Read the label and was shocked
More sugar than a chocolate block.

Verse 2
I drink a Coke for a lift,
Helps me finish out my shift.
It’s great, gives a high
But by and by, I need more pop.

Chorus
Hey Sugar, you’re sweet as sin,
Smilin’ wide as you come in,
Jam on bread, sweet pork with beans—
Even hidin’ in my greens!
Sugar, you’re a buddy in disguise,
You make me fat. You make me wide.

Verse 3
I tried yogurt, a special prize,
But it’s dessert in disguise,
A party now with birthday cake—
Oh yes, ice cream I’ll take.

Verse 4
I grabbed an apple, chewed real slow,
Didn’t crash an hour ago.
Felt just fine, no shaky knee—
Turns out fruit’s no enemy.

Chorus
Hey Sugar, you’re sweet as sin,
Smilin’ wide as you come in,
Jam on bread, sweet pork with beans—
Even hidin’ in my greens!
Sugar, you’re a buddy in disguise,
You make me fat. You make me wide.

Verse 5
Sugar, sugar, slick and sly,
Commercial teach a glorious lie,
Use name like cane juice__sounds tame
Different word, but same ol’ game!

Verse 6
Sugar, pal, I hate to say,
“No more sweetin’ up my day.”
Sad for me. No pies or cakes.
No caramels or cookies with dates.

Chorus
Hey Sugar, you’re sweet as sin,
Smilin’ wide as you come in,
Jam on bread, sweet pork with beans—
Even hidin’ in my greens!
Sugar, you’re a buddy in disguise,
You make me fat. You make me wide.

Outro
So here’s to livin’, laughin’ long,
Read those labels, sing this song,
Life’s already plenty sweet—
You don’t need to sugarcoat your meat.
