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).

She had black hair like ravens crawling over her shoulders

All the way down

She had a smile that swerved

She had a smile that curved

She had a smile that swerved all over the road

It's all wrong all wrong

All wrong all wrong

She had a way of making people feel good to be around her

As it should be

It's all wrong all wrong

All wrong, all wrong

All wrong

And when she laughs I travel back in time

Something flips the switch and I collapse inside

It's all wrong all wrong

All wrong, all wrong

All wrong.

Excuse me if I bore you

When I talk about the things I like to do

Excuse me if I'm not like them

I'd always liked to think there's something else out there

For us the world is a gift

A spin is a day

A turn is a year

And if the day gives us rain

Let's stare at the falling drops in the air

That I breathe when we wander outside

Touch of sunlight when it was getting dark

Slow down the pace of the clocks in our heads

So we can keep shaping the clouds

Excuse me, is what you told me

When I didn't listen what you had to say

Maybe I am just like them

Forgetting you could also choose a way

Your view blending with mine

Are two colour filters blazing my sky

Alone but together we'll share

The touch, the taste, the smell

Of the air that I breathe when we wander outside

Touch of sunlight when it was getting dark

Slow down the pace of the clocks in our heads

So we can keep shaping the clouds

Excuse me, is what you told me

When I didn't listen what you had to say

Maybe I am just like them

Forgetting you could also choose a way

Your view blending with mine

Are two colour filters blazing my sky

Alone but together we'll share

The touch, the taste, the smell

Of the air that I breathe when we wander outside

Touch of sunlight when it was getting dark

Slow down the pace of the clocks in our heads

So we can keep shaping the clouds.
