Lyric Shake The Sugar Tree

(Chapin Hartford)
(Track 5 - Time 3:08)

Love, you re getting lazy
You re forgettin to give me
Sweet sugar words that I wanna hear
You ve been neglectin me
You know jealously, it is a bitter as a green spring berry

And just like fruit from a fickle vine
You turn sweet in the nick of time
Love you only come alive when you re losin me
And it s a childish game
I ve got to shake you up just to wake you up
To make you love me

I ll shake the sugar tree
Til I feel your love fallin all around me
You ve got to tend to what you planted
And if you take my love for granted baby
I ll shake the sugar tree

Another night and you re sleepin
I m awake and I m dreamin
Oh honey bout the way that it used to be
And little time s gone by
Do you think that I m content
With the cookin and the payin of rent
No I wanna know if your love s all spent

I ll shake the sugar tree
Til I feel your love fallin all around me
You ve got to tend to what you planted
And if you take my love for granted baby
I ll shake the sugar tree

I ve got to raise some commotion
Before you show me some real emotion

I ll shake the sugar tree
Til I feel your love fallin all around me
You ve got to tend to what you planted
And if you take my love for granted baby
I ll shake the sugar tree
You know I m gonna shake the sugar tree
Til I feel your love fallin all around me
You ve got to tend to what you planted
And if you take my love for granted baby
I ll shake the sugar tree
