Sugar-Coated Baby

SUGAR COATED BABY

WRITERS JOHNNY HORTON, HOWARD HAUSEY

When the last sole flicker of the sun goes down

And they turn the lights on all over town

That's when you see me walkin' Broad and Main

I'm gonna see my sugar coated baby

I'm just like a kitten, playin' with a string

When I'm a-holdin' that pretty little thing

She's as sweet as honey all the way around

And she's sugar coated all the way down

Well I'm drownin' myself in her eyes of blue

'Cause each and every kiss is just like brand new

I bet when you find me I'll be nestled in her arms

Havin' myself a-lost a week in her charms

Well her love I get for nothing, it don't come on the cuff

It comes from her heart and I never get enough

She kisses me it's like a drink of wine

It warms me all over just to know that she's mine
