I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl Lyrics

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, I feel so sad

I want a little steam on my clothes
Maybe I could fix things up so they'll go
What's a 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've 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
What's a matter daddy? Come on save my soul
I want some sugar in my bowl, I ain't fooling
I want some sugar in my bowl

Cover art for I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl lyrics by Nina Simone

this one is so sexy

She sings it so beautifully. She takes a song that another artist might turn sleazy into something tastefully beautiful. Love Simone!

Wonderful song. Nina has the perfect voice for it.

Oh, I think she's saying, "Stick it in me twice a day, and I'll do anything for you. I'll lick the ground you walk on."

It's about fuckin'.

I highly doubt Nina Simone would classify her song as a mere "get laid" tune. She was much too classy for that. Yes, it's about sex, but I would venture to guess it is about sex in the context of love (a huge difference). The lyrics indicate to me that he hasn't been feeling low and she's been lonely, so she feels that sex might just help the situation. It's a clever song which Simone sings perfectly.
