Cup of Sugar
My neighbor plays his music
For our whole neighborhood
I wouldn't really mind the volume
If his taste was any good
He said he saw me on the TV
Said he kind of liked my song
I'll be honest, it surprised me
Maybe he's not always wrong
I try to pick my battles
Don't want to start a war
If I need a cup of sugar
I'll knock on my neighbor's door
I see him out a lot more often
Now the weather's nice again
If people ever saw us talking
They might even think we're friends
20 years, he's been my neighbor
Still don't know what makes him tick
One rule I know to follow
Don't bring up politics
I try to pick my battles
Don't want to start a war
If I need a cup of sugar
I'll knock on my neighbor's door
We watched our kids grow up together
Called them in when it got dark outside
I loaned him my tools, we swam in his pool
Brought casseroles when somebody died
Now my neighbor's on vacation on some western tourist trail
I'll cut his grass when it gets tall
I told him I'd take in his mail
And in this world there's lots of trouble
Doesn't matter where you are
Jesus said to love your neighbor
You don't have to go that far
I try to pick my battles
I don't want to start a war
If I need a cup of sugar
I'll knock on my neighbor's door
Walk around that fence between us
I won't go running to the store
If I need a cup of sugar
I'll knock on my neighbor's door
For our whole neighborhood
I wouldn't really mind the volume
If his taste was any good
He said he saw me on the TV
Said he kind of liked my song
I'll be honest, it surprised me
Maybe he's not always wrong
I try to pick my battles
Don't want to start a war
If I need a cup of sugar
I'll knock on my neighbor's door
I see him out a lot more often
Now the weather's nice again
If people ever saw us talking
They might even think we're friends
20 years, he's been my neighbor
Still don't know what makes him tick
One rule I know to follow
Don't bring up politics
I try to pick my battles
Don't want to start a war
If I need a cup of sugar
I'll knock on my neighbor's door
We watched our kids grow up together
Called them in when it got dark outside
I loaned him my tools, we swam in his pool
Brought casseroles when somebody died
Now my neighbor's on vacation on some western tourist trail
I'll cut his grass when it gets tall
I told him I'd take in his mail
And in this world there's lots of trouble
Doesn't matter where you are
Jesus said to love your neighbor
You don't have to go that far
I try to pick my battles
I don't want to start a war
If I need a cup of sugar
I'll knock on my neighbor's door
Walk around that fence between us
I won't go running to the store
If I need a cup of sugar
I'll knock on my neighbor's door
