If sugar was as sweet as you honey

All of my life,

I've suffered with a complex

I didn't think nobody cared
 E
About where I was going,
   C#m
Or how I was to get there
    A                       E
But then you came and I was spared.

       A
'Cause you came along and
B
showed me I was wrong
      A                 B
And I think I can carry on.

Take all the sugar cane down in Louisiana

Take it to a sugar cane mill

Try to sell some of the finest sugar

It wouldn't change the way that I feel

'Cause in order to find
