[Verse 1]
I want a little sugar in my bowl
I want a little sweetness down in my soul
I could stand some lovin', oh, so bad
I feel so lonely and I feel so sad

[Chorus]
I want a little steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go
What's the matter, daddy? Come on, save my soul
Drop a lil' sugar in my bowl, I ain't foolin'
Drop a lil' sugar in my bowl

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Well, I want a little sugar in my bowl
I want a little sweetness down in my soul
You been actin' strangely, I've been told
Move me, daddy, I want some sugar in my bowl

[Chorus]
I want a little steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go
What's the matter, daddy? Come on, save my soul
Drop a lil' sugar in my bowl, I ain't foolin'
Drop some sugar, yeah, in my bowl
