Lyrics You're My Sugar (With Kay Starr) - Tennessee Ernie Ford, Kay Starr

You're My Sugar (With Kay Starr)

You are my one and only
The only one I kiss
But that black book in you’re pocket, honey
Ain’t no grocery list
But o took you to a nightclub
To have a bang up time
But we ended up washing dishes
'Cause you didn’t have a dime
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me
I ordered you a collar right from the catalogue
But can’t stop barkin' 'caurse that collar’s for a dog
Well, next day I set you neck-ties
Did you like the ties you got?
How come you tie the neck-ties honey
Like a hangmans knot
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me
Well that diamond ring I bought you
Was nothing but the best
But you only paid a dollar down
I had to pay the rest
What happened to the fur coat
I bought the other day?
Well that new fur coat you got me
Just got up and walked away
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me
Now I knitted you some golf-socks
With fancy heels and sow’s
Well I guess you’ll call them golf socks
They both got 18 holes
I promised you a pony
I promised you a yacht
Well a saddle and a paddle, boy
Was all I ever got
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me
Well I’m getting tired of fighting
Been at it all my life
Well the way we always get along
We should be man and wife
You’re my sugar
You’re my sugar
And I am sweet on you
