Tired of bein´ lonely, tired of bein´ blue,
I wished I had some good man, to tell my troubles to
Seem like the whole world´s wrong, since my man´s been gone
I need a little sugar in my bowl,
I need a little hot dog, on my roll
I can stand a bit of lovin´, oh so bad,
I feel so funny, I feel so sad
I need a little steam-heat, on my floor,
Maybe I can fix things up, so they´ll go
What´s the matter, hard papa, come on and save you mama´s soul
´Cause I need a little sugar, in my bowl, doggone it,
I need a little sugar in my bowl
I need a little sugar, in my bowl,
I need a little hot dog, between my rolls
You gettin´ different, I´ve been told,
move your finger, drop something in my bowl
I need a little steam-heat on my floor,
Maybe I can fix things up, so they´ll go
(spoken: Get off your knees, I can´t see what you´re drivin´ at!
It´s dark down there!
Looks like a snake! C´mon here and drop somethin´ here in my bowl,
stop your foolin´, and drop somethin´, in my bowl)
