Pam Tillis - Shake The Sugar Tree lyrics

Love, you're getting lazy
You're forgetting to give me sweet sugar
Words that I wanna hear
You been neglecting me
You know jealousy it is bitter
As a green spring berry
And just like fruit from a fickle vine
You turn sweet in the nick o' time
Love, you only come alive
When you're losing me
And it's a childish game
I gotta shake you up just to wake you up
To make you love me

I'll shake the sugar tree
'til I feel your love falling all around me
You gotta 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 sleeping
I'm awake and I'm dreaming
Oh honey, 'bout the way that it used to be
A little time's gone by
Now do you think that I'm
Content with the cooking
And the payin' the rent? No I wanna
Know if your love's all spent

I'll shake the sugar tree
'til I feel your love falling all around me
You gotta 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
'til I feel your love falling all around me
You gotta tend to what you planted
And if you take my love for granted, baby
I'll shake the sugar tree
