Shake The Sugar Tree Lyrics

Shake The Sugar Tree lyrics

(Chapin Hartford)
(Track 5 - Time 3:08)

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
