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

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.
