Lyrics
A CUP OF YOUR SUGAR
(verse) If you'd like to bake a cherry cake
I have the perfect recipe
Just one hour is all it takes
To feed two lovers like you and me
(chorus) May I borrow A CUP OF YOUR SUGAR?
Measure it out one kiss at a time
Please add a teaspoon of ginger
To spice up this lonely life of mine
(verse) Break some eggs while I preheat the oven
Now pour the batter in a pan
When it's done it tastes like heaven
You (I) (female) know that's the way to please a man
(repeat chorus)
(bridge) Cookin' and lovin' are fun to do
I'd love to do them both with you
(repeat chorus)
(tag) May I borrow A CUP OF YOUR SUGAR, Sugar?
To spice up this lonely life of mine
A CUP OF YOUR SUGAR, Sugar!
