I NEED A LITTLE SUGAR IN MY BOWL
WRITERS CHARLIE SMALLS, J. BRYMN, WILLIAMS


Tired of bein′ lonely, tired of bein' 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 lovin', 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 a little sugar in my bowl
I need a little sugar, in my bowl,
I need a little hot dog, between my rolls
You gettin' 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
(Spoken: Get off your knees, I can′t see what you're drivin' at!
It′s dark down there!
Looks like a snake! C′mon here and drop somethin' here in my bowl,
Stop your foolin′, and drop somethin', in my bowl)
