Need A Little Sugar In My Bowl
(Clarence Williams, Dally Small, JT Brymn)
Tired of being lonely
Tired of being blue
I wished I had some good man
To tell my troubles to
Seem like the whole world’s wrong
Since my man’s been gone
I need a little sugar, in my bowl
I need a little hot dog, on my roll
I can stand a bit of loving, oh so bad
I feel so funny, I feel so sad
I need a little steam-heat, on my floor
Maybe I can fix things up, so they’ll go
What’s the matter, hard papa
Come on and save you mama’s soul
‘Cause I need a little sugar in my bowl
Doggone it, I need some sugar in my bowl
I need a little sugar, in my bowl
I need a little hot dog, between my rolls
You getting different, I’ve been told
Move your finger, drop something in my bowl
I need a little steam-heat on my floor
Maybe I can fix things up, so they’ll go
Get off your knees
I can’t see what you’re driving at
It’s dark down there, looks like a snake
C’mon here and drop something here in my bowl
Stop your fooling, and drop something in my bowl
