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)
