I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl

I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl

Words & Music:

Nina Simone

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.

Feel so lonely and I feel so sad.

I want a little steam on my clothes.

Maybe I could fix things up so they'll go.

What's the matter, daddy? Come on, save my soul.

Drop a little sugar in my bowl, I ain't foolin',

Drop a little sugar in my bowl.

Well, I want a little sugar in my bowl.

Well, I want a little sweetness down in my soul.

You been acting strangely, I've been told.

Move me daddy, I want some sugar in my bowl.

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 little sugar in my bowl, I ain't foolin',

Drop some sugar in my bowl.
