Shake the Sugar Tree

Love you're gettin' lazy You're forgettin' to give me Sweet sugar words that I want to hear You've been neglectin' me You know jealousy, it is bitter as a green spring berry You're 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 Till I feel your love falling All around me You've got to tend to what you've 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 you used to be A little time's gone by Now do you think that I'm content With the cookin' and the payin' of the rent No, I want to know if your love's all spent I'll shake the sugar tree Till I feel your love falling All around me You've got to tend to what you've 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
