Sugar coated love, you gave me on a plate
I took a bite and then i looked to see what i had ate
I found i had a cinder all covered up in white
That old sugar coated love is something i can't bite

You say you are leaving me for another man
He has all the wealth and charm and not my kind of brand
Baby i fell down on my knees a pleading for your love
Can't understand what i saw in a sugar coated love

You called me your sugar plum, your baby and your pet
Said i was your romeo and you my juliet
I thought you were my angel, my little sugar dove
You sure had me fooled, babe, with that sugar coated love
