You call me sugarbaby but do
You swear
Do you swear, do you swear
You call me sugarbaby but do
You swear
Do you swear on that
And would you want to take a
Bible oath
And would you want to tell the
Holy ghost
Would you put your faith in
Standing me by
Darling would you testify
Are you full with truth or full with lie
Would you cross your heart and
Hope to die
Stick a pin needle in your eye
Baby would you lie
You call me sugarbaby but do
You swear
Do you swear on that
When the knife comes down will you
Turn to go
Will you fold like the rose of Jericho
Sing my love song on your knees
Do you pray to God or pray to me
Is your rosary made of loyalty
Is your cross made of veracity
Would you offer your soul to the sky
Baby would you lie
You call me sugarbaby but do
You swear
Do you swear, do you swear
You call me sugarbaby but do
You swear
Do you swear on that
And so many lovers have left
A space
'tween things they do and things
They say
A promise left to dangle gets
Scratched and frayed
Words get tangled and
Memories play
So many lovers have gone this way
Trying to keep their hounds at bay
How the earth got tender and hell
Did crack
When Dante wanted his
Beatrice back
So would you want to take that
Bible oath
And would you want to tell the
Holy ghost
Cross your heart and hope to die
Baby would you lie
You call me sugarbaby but do
You swear
Do you swear, do you swear
You call me sugarbaby but do
You swear
Do you swear on that
