  • One for you and one for me
    But one and one and one
    Pardon me - comes to three
    Looking sweet and all the while
    Hid behind the smile was saccharine
    I'm a go between

    Save me, save me
    Baby, baby sugar me
    Gotta get my candy free
    Sugar me by day
    Sugar me my baby, baby sugar me
    Gotta get my candy free
    Sugar me by day, sugar me by night
    Sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar

    Count me in from one to two
    But nothing more or less will do
    Just me and you
    Honey sweet and harmony
    Will melt away the bitter memory
    It's gotta be

    Save me, save me
    Baby, baby sugar me
    I gotta get my candy free
    Sugar me by day
    Sugar me my baby, baby sugar me
    I gotta get my candy free
    Sugar me by day, sugar me my night
    Sugar sugar sugar sugar

    Save me, save me
    Baby, baby sugar me... Writer/s: BARRY GREEN, LYNSEY DE PAUL
