[Verse 1]
D
Love, you're getting lazy.
D
You're forgetting to give me
G D
Sweet sugar,words that I wanna hear.
A
You been neglecting me,
A D
You know jealousy it is bitter as a green spring berry.
D
And just like fruit from a fickle vine,
D
You turn sweet in the nick o' time.
G
Love, you only come alive
D
When you're losing me.
A
And it's a childish game,
I gotta shake you up just to wake you up
D
To make you love me.
[Chorus]
D
I'll shake the sugar tree,
G A D
'til I feel your love falling all around me.
A
You gotta tend to what you planted,
And if you take my love for granted, baby,
D A G
I'll shake the sugar tree.
D
[Verse 2]
D
Another night and you're sleeping,
I'm awake and I'm dreaming.
G D
Oh honey, 'bout the way that it used to be.
A
A little time's gone by,
Do you think that I'm content with the cooking and the payin' the rent?
D
No I wanna know if your love's all spent!
[Chorus]
D
I'll shake the sugar tree,
G A D
'til I feel your love falling all around me.
A
You gotta tend to what you planted,
And if you take my love for granted, baby,
D A G
I'll shake the sugar tree.
[Bridge]
A E
I've got to raise some commotion,
A E
Before you show me some real emotion.
[Chorus]
D
I'll shake the sugar tree,
G A D
'til I feel your love falling all around me.
A
You gotta tend to what you planted,
And if you take my love for granted, baby,
D A G
I'll shake the sugar tree.
