I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl

(album: Nina Simone Sings The Blues - 1967)

I want a little sugar
In my bowl
I want a little sweetness
Down in my soul
I could stand some loving
Oh so bad
I feel so funny and I feel so sad

I want a little steam
On my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up
So they'll go
Whatsa matter Daddy
Come on, save my soul
I need some sugar in my bowl
I ain't fooling
I want some sugar in my bowl

You been acting different
I've been told
Soothe me
I want some sugar in my bowl
I want some steam
On my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go
Whatsa matter Daddy
Come on, save my soul
I want some sugar in my bowl
I ain't fooling
I want some sugar hmmm
In my bowl.
