Shake the Sugar Tree (Live) - Pam Tillis

Love you're getting lazy

You're forgetting to give me

Sweet sugar words that I wanna hear

You've been neglecting me

You know jealously it is a bitter as a green spring berry

And just like fruit from a fickle vine

You turn sweet in the nick of time

Love you only come alive when you're losing 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 planted

And if you take my love for granted baby

I'll shake the sugar tree

Another night and you're sleep-in

I'm awake and I'm dreaming

Oh honey bout the way that it used to be

And little times gone by

Do you think that I'm content

With the cooking and the paying of rent

No I wanna know if your loves 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 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

I'll shake the sugar tree

Till I feel your love falling all around me

You've got to tend to what you planted

And if you take my love for granted baby

I'll shake the sugar tree

I'll shake the sugar tree
