Sugar Sweet Lyrics
If I could count the stupid things I do for you
Oh, just for a taste (Mhm)
I'd make it to a million just to realize
It was all just a chase
Oh, what a waste
[Pre-Chorus]
And now, I hope you know what you've done
I won't be here when you're running back
'Cause you don't have anyone
[Chorus]
Oh, I bet you think your honey tastes like sugar
But honey, sugar don't taste that bitter
Baby, you ain't sweet
Look at what you did to me
Oh, I bet you money that you'll look back later
But baby, money won't make this better
Baby, love ain't cheap
Look at what you did to me
[Post-Chorus]
Look at what you did
Look at what you did
Silver chains and promise rings
Never really meant a thing, did they? (Oh, no-oh)
Was everything you did just a front?
To get the things that you really want from me? (You wouldn't do that, would you?)
[Pre-Chorus]
And now, I hope you know what you've done
I won't be here when you're running back
'Cause you don't have anyone
[Chorus]
Oh, I bet you think your honey tastes like sugar
But honey, sugar don't taste that bitter
Baby, you ain't sweet
Look at what you did to me
Oh, I bet you money that you'll look back later
But baby, money won't make this better
Baby, love ain't cheap
Look at what you did to me
[Bridge]
Ooh, look what you did to me, baby
Look what you did to me, baby, uh
Ooh, look what you did to me, baby
Look what you did to me, baby
Oh, I bet you think your honey tastes like sugar
But honey, sugar don't taste that bitter
Baby, you ain't sweet
Look at what you did to me (What you're doing to me)
Oh, I bet you money that you'll look back later
But baby, money won't make this better
Baby, love ain't cheap
Look at what you did to me

I was just tired of this person coming back. Thinking I’m always going to be here and they can just like leave. And then come back like everything’s fine, like it’s not.

‘Sugar Sweet’ is my sassy song about moving on from someone who treats you like a second option instead of a priority. This is for everyone that can relate and found their confidence in themselves.
