[Chorus]

Sugar, ah honey honey

You are my candy girl

And you’ve got me wanting you

Honey, ah sugar sugar

You are my candy girl

And you’ve got me wanting you

[Verse 1]

I just can’t believe the loveliness of loving you

(I just can’t believe it’s true)

I just can’t believe the wonder of this feeling too

(I just can’t believe it’s true)

[Chorus]

Ah sugar, ah honey honey

You are my candy girl

And you’ve got me wanting you

Oh honey, ah sugar sugar

You are my candy girl

And you’ve got me wanting you

[Verse 2]

When I kissed you, girl, I knew how sweet a kiss could be

(I know how sweet a kiss can be)

Like the summer sunshine pour your sweetness over me

(Pour your sweetness over me)

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh-oh oh oh oh, pour a little sugar on me honey

Pour a little sugar on me baby

I’m gonna make your life so sweet, yeah yeah yeah

Pour a little sugar on me oh honey

[Chorus]

Ah sugar, ah honey honey

You are my candy girl

And you’ve got me wanting you
