I've seen you
all skin and bone
eyes grey as stone
heart good as gold
you think nothing cold
and I've listened to you
when you go out
you sing and shout
you say alright
and that's alright
sugar sweet
Come and see just what's outside
who's told the truth and who has lied
take you in, into their arms
hold you back and hold you down
hold you back and hold you down
sugar, sugar sweet
saccharine to the bitterness you'll meet
sugar, sugar sweet
you say words that don't mean a thing
but this world turns with the touches you bring
take it in, into your hands
throw it back and throw it down
money maker always rattles his shaker
if there's a giver he's always a taker
take you in, into his arms
and hold you back
sugar, sugar sweet
saccharine to the bitterness you'll meet
sugar, sugar sweet
don't hold it back
hold it back
don't hold it back
hold you back
don't hold it back
sugar, sugar sweet
don't hold it back
sugar, sugar sweet
don't hold it back
