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
