Shake The Sugar Tree Lyrics

Shake The Sugar Tree
(Chapin Hartford)

Love, you're gettin' lazy
You're forgettin' to give me
Sweet sugar words that I wanna hear
You've been neglectin' me
You know jealousy, it is bitter as a green spring berry

Just 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

Chorus:
[ Tillis Pam Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
I'll shake the sugar tree
'Til I feel your love fallin' all around me
You've got to tend to what you planted
And if you take my love from 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 that it used to be
A little time's gone by
Do you think that I'm content
With the cookin' and the payin' of rent
No, I wanna know if you love's all spent

CHORUS

I've got to raise some commotion
Before you show me some real emotion
