lyrics
All I really wanted to do
Was put a sugar cube or two in your tea
To make you act all sweet and nice and
Stop you telling lies and
Give you happy times
All I ever wanted to hear
Was you whisper softly in my ear - I love you
Life would be so sweet and nice
So take the man’s advice
Don’t make me tell you twice
The things you say are oh so cruel
How can you talk with bitter ashes in your mouth?
Try to spit them out
Wash the nastiness down
Swill round some of that sweet tea baby
All I really wanted to do
Was put another sugar or two in your tea
To make you act all sweet and nice and
Stop you telling lies
It’s what the man prescribed
All I ever wanted to feel
Was your heart beating into my teal pullover
Maybe things will be alright
Baby it will work out fine
We’ll have to give it time – for tea
The things you say are oh so cruel
How can you talk with bitter ashes in your mouth?
Try to spit them out
Wash the nastiness down
Swill round some of that sweet tea baby
Whenever trouble’s brewing
I heap a generous spoon into your mug
Suddenly you stop stewing and spouting fortunes
From the leaves left in the palm of your hand
And I say..
Darling, take a sip of my sweet tea
Don’t you find it goes down easily?
It’s the nectar of the Gods you see
Dunk a biscuit in for extra glee
The things you say are oh so cruel
How can you talk with bitter ashes in your mouth?
Try to spit them out
Wash the nastiness down
Swill round some of that sweet tea baby
Give her some of that sweet tea
Was put a sugar cube or two in your tea
To make you act all sweet and nice and
Stop you telling lies and
Give you happy times
All I ever wanted to hear
Was you whisper softly in my ear - I love you
Life would be so sweet and nice
So take the man’s advice
Don’t make me tell you twice
The things you say are oh so cruel
How can you talk with bitter ashes in your mouth?
Try to spit them out
Wash the nastiness down
Swill round some of that sweet tea baby
All I really wanted to do
Was put another sugar or two in your tea
To make you act all sweet and nice and
Stop you telling lies
It’s what the man prescribed
All I ever wanted to feel
Was your heart beating into my teal pullover
Maybe things will be alright
Baby it will work out fine
We’ll have to give it time – for tea
The things you say are oh so cruel
How can you talk with bitter ashes in your mouth?
Try to spit them out
Wash the nastiness down
Swill round some of that sweet tea baby
Whenever trouble’s brewing
I heap a generous spoon into your mug
Suddenly you stop stewing and spouting fortunes
From the leaves left in the palm of your hand
And I say..
Darling, take a sip of my sweet tea
Don’t you find it goes down easily?
It’s the nectar of the Gods you see
Dunk a biscuit in for extra glee
The things you say are oh so cruel
How can you talk with bitter ashes in your mouth?
Try to spit them out
Wash the nastiness down
Swill round some of that sweet tea baby
Give her some of that sweet tea
