Pam Tillis
Shake The Sugar Tree
Love, you're getting lazy,
You're forgetting to give me
Sweet sugar, words that I wanna hear
You've been neglecting me
You know jealousy is bitter
As a green spring berry
Just like fruit from a fickle vine
It turns sweet in the nick of time
Love you only come alive
When you're losing me
And it's a childish game
I've got to shake you up
Just to wake you up
to make you love me
I shake the sugar tree
Till I feel your love falling all around me
You've got to tend to what you've planted
And if you take my love for granted
Baby, I'll shake the sugar tree
Another night and you're sleeping
I'm awake and I'm dreaming
Oh honey,'bout the way that it used to be
A little time's gone by
Do you think that I'm content with the cooking
And the paying the rent
No, I want to know if your love's all spent
I shake the sugar tree
Till I feel your love falling all around me
You've got to tend to what you've planted
And if you take my love for granted
Baby, I'll shake the sugar tree
I've got to raise some commotion
Before you show some real emotion
I shake the sugar tree
Till I feel your love falling all around me
You've got to tend to what you've planted
And if you take my love for granted
Baby, I'll shake the sugar tree
Shake The Sugar Tree
Love, you're getting lazy,

Love you only come alive
When you're losing me
And it's a childish game
I've got to shake you up
Just to wake you up
to make you love me
I shake the sugar tree
Till I feel your love falling all around me
You've got to tend to what you've planted
