Sweet Nuthin's an' a Lil' Sumthin'

I Want a Little Sugar in my Bowl
sung by Nina Simone

I want a little sugar
in my bowl
I want a little sweetness
down in my soul
I could stand some lovin'Oh so bad
Feel so lonely and I feel so sad
I want a little steam
on my clothes
Maybe I could fix things up
so they'll go
Whatsa matter Daddy
Come on, save my soul
Drop a little sugar in my bowl
I ain't foolin'Drop a little sugar in my bowl
Well I want a little sugar
in my bowl
Well I want a little sweetness down in my soul
You been acting strangely
I've been told
Move me Daddy
I want some sugar in my bowl
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
Drop a little sugar in my bowl
I ain't foolin'Drop some sugar- yeah- in my bowl.


I miss the magic and the mystery, I miss the feel of a whisper and a breath, I miss the elusiveness of being a woman, I miss the fingers through my hair.
