Sugar mama, sugar mama, sugar mama please come back to me Sugar mama, sugar mama, sugar mama please come back to me Bring me my granulated sugar1, sugar mama, and try to ease my misery You've got this new grade of sugar, sugar mama, an you done made me love it too You've got this new grade of sugar, sugar mama, an you done made me love it too You've got this granulated sugar, sugar mama, ain't nobody else got, but you They been braggin' 'bout your sugar, sugar mama, been braggin' all over town They been braggin' 'bout your sugar, sugar mama, braggin' all over town Now, the bootleggers want you to sell 'em enough to make whiskey, But you won't sell 'em about four or five pounds I like my coffee sweet in the mornin', you know, an I'm crazy 'bout my tea at night I like my coffee sweet in the mornin', you know, an I'm crazy 'bout my tea at night Don't get my sugar three times a day, oh, Lord, then I don't feel right

Ah loving you is easy you are on my side We play the game strictly to our rules We led the field a love affair Which made all other lovers fools Oh How can you ever let me down How can you ever let me down How can you ever let me down These promises are made for us We promised that we'd always have time for each other Whenever I needed you'd be there We promised to be true there'd be no other We promised that for ever we would care Oh How can you ever let me down How can you ever let me down How can you ever let me down These promises are made for us We had to change But you stayed the same You wouldn't change Oh what a shame Cos loving you's not easy you're not on my side We play a game with two sets of rules We lead the field in a love affair Ah strictly meant for fools Oh Why did you ever let me down Why did you ever let me down Why did you ever let me down Those promises were made for us You never have any time for me Whenever I need you you're not there You've never been true and it's plain to see The fact is you never really cared Oh Why did you ever let me down Why did you ever let me down Why did you ever let me down Those promises were made for us

I'm a soldier of freedom in the army of the man Ah we are the chosen, we're the partisan alright Well the cause it is noble and the cause it is just We are ready to pay with our lives if we must Gonna ride across the river deep and wide Ride across the river to the other side Now I'm a soldier of fortune, I'm a dog of war And we don't give a damn who the killing is for Yeah it's the same old story with a different name Death or glory, it's the killing game Gonna ride across the river deep and wide Ride across the river to the other side Oh nothing gonna stop them as the day follows the night Right become a wrong, the left become the right And they sing as they march with their flags unfurled Today in the mountains, tomorrow the world Gonna ride across the river deep and wide Ride across the river to the other side Gonna ride across the river deep and wide Ride across the river to the other side

Well, you tried it just for once, found it all right for kicks But now you found out that it's a habit that sticks And you're an orgasm addict You're an orgasm addict Sneaking in the back door with dirty magazines Now your mother wants to know what all those stains on your jeans And you're an orgasm addict You're an orgasm addict Ah-huh, ah-huh, ah Ah-huh, ah-huh, ah You get in a heat, you get in a sulk But you still keep a beating your meat to pulp And you're an orgasm addict You're an orgasm addict You're a kid Casanova. you're a no Joseph It's a labour of love, fuckin' yourself to death Orgasm addict You're an orgasm addict Ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ahh! You're makin' out with school kids Winos and heads of state You even made it with the lady Who puts the little plastic bobins on the Christmas cakes Butcher's assistants and bellhops You've had them all here and there Children of God and their joy-strings International women with no body hair Ooh, so where they're askin' in an alley and your voice ain't steady If sex mechanic's rough, you're more than ready You're an orgasm addict You're an orgasm addict Johnny want fuckie always and all ways He's got the energy, he will amaze He's an orgasm addict He's an orgasm addict He's always at it He's always at it And he's an orgasm addict He's an orgasm addict
