Need a Little Sugar in My Bowl - Bessie Smith

作词：Clarence Williams/D. Small/T. Brymn

作曲：Clarence Williams/D. Small/T. Brymn

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 your mama's soul

'Cause I need a little sugar in my bowl doggone it

I need a some 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

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
