(LyricFind)

Step inside

Walk this way

You and me babe

Hey hey

Love is like a bomb, baby, c’mon get it on

Livin’ like a lover with a radar phone

Lookin’ like a tramp, like a video vamp

Demolition woman, can I be your man? (your man)

Razzle ‘n’ a dazzle ‘n’ a flash a little light

Television lover, baby, go all night

Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet

Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah, yeah

Now c’mon, take a bottle, shake it up

Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me

Ooh, in the name of love

Pour some sugar on me

C’mon, fire me up

Pour your sugar on me

I can’t get enough

I’m hot, sticky sweet

From my head to my feet, yeah

Listen, red light, yellow light, green-a-light go

Crazy little woman in a one man show

Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love

Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up (loosen up)

Loosen up

You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little

Tease a little more

Easy operator come a knockin’ on my door

Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet

Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah, yeah

Give a little more

Take a bottle, shake it up

Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me

Ooh, in the name of love

Pour some sugar on me

C’mon, fire me up

Pour your sugar on me

Oh, I can’t get enough

I’m hot, sticky sweet

From my head to my feet, yeah

You got the peaches, I got the cream

Sweet to taste, saccharine

‘Cause I’m hot (hot), say what, sticky sweet

From my head (head), my head, to my feet

Do you take sugar? One lump or two?

Take a bottle (take a bottle), shake it up (shake it up)

Break the bubble (break it up), break it up

Pour some sugar on me

Ooh, in the name of love

Pour some sugar on me

C’mon fire me up

Pour your sugar on me

Oh, I can’t get enough

Pour some sugar on me

Oh, in the name of love

Pour some sugar on me

Get it, come get it

Pour your sugar on me (oh-ooh)

Pour some sugar on me

Yeah, sugar me
