  • Mtume/Juicy - Sugar Free (HQ)
    Lyrics:
    My I.U. is gone
    I miss him everyday
    Ah, mh, yeah
    Mh, ah, oh, yeah
    Mh, ah, oh, yeah
    Mh, ah, oh, yeah
    Oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh no
    Heavy, heavy
    Oh sugar
    I'm sugar free
    In the night
    I'm sugar free
    In the day
    My sweetheart
    Had to go away
    For a little while
    And when my I.U
    Is not here with me
    I'm the helpless type
    I'm sugar free
    In the night
    (So lonely, so lonely)
    I'm sugar free
    In the day
    (So lonely, yeah)
    I know he loves me
    I know he cares
    Cause he's all mine
    And soon he'll be knockin'
    At my door
    Things will be alright
    I'm sugar free
    In the night
    (So lonely, so lonely)
    I'm sugar free
    In the day
    (I feel so lonely, yeah)
    Listen, let me explain
    I like livin' my life in the fast lane
    Partyin' hard and havin' fun
    Females - I need more than one
    Straight up and down on the serious tip
    I ain't with no relationship
    It may sound like a diss but believe me it's not
    Matter of fact I really like you a lot
    But it's a dead issue for you to pursue
    Cause yo boo, I like you but I like others too
    The heartaches, the breaks, the pains, I don't need em
    Instead give me some head and a whole lotta freedom
    I like to swing, I ain't with no commitment
    Parties, ladies and beer by the shipment
    But when I do my thing you get mad
    Call me on the telephone soundin' all sad
    Don't mean to hurt your feelings, my dear
    But listen here, I'm the mack of the year
    So if you have plans to settle down with me
    I guess you just have to be - sugar free
    Oh my sugar's gone
    He's gone away
    I miss him every night
    And every day
    Oh my sugar's gone
    He's gone away
    I miss him every night
    And every day
    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Everyday, yeah
    Oh, oh, oh
    My sugar is gone
    I.U.
    I.U.
    My sugar is gone
    Oh sugar
    Heavy
    My sugar's gone
    Oh my sugar's gone
    He's gone away
    Yo, that sounds beautiful
    That's another rapid shipment
