Pam Tillis - I Said a Prayer

Shake the Sugar Tree

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, shake, shake the sugar tree

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