SUGAR AND TEARS


Twelve years old, hot July, Wilson Country Fair
Arcade stand, Becky Lynn, ribbons in her hair
She said, I just know you can win that bear for me
With a tear in her eye, she kissed me on the cheek

Sugar and tears, sugar and tears
One drop of salty water, a whisper in my ear
From the eastern to the western hemisphere
Women rule the world with sugar and tears

Seventeen, Senior Prom, Corey Central High
Last dance, Caroline, a tear drop in her eye
She said, your class ring would look good around my neck
And when she kissed me on the lips, how could I object

Sugar and tears, sugar and tears
One drop of salty water, a whisper in my ear
From the eastern to the western hemisphere
Women rule the world with sugar and tears

Thirty-one, front porch swing, Sunday afternoon
Holding hands with Marianne, the scent of her perfume
She said, let's go upstairs, been waiting all week for this
Then she melted me with her misty eyes and a hot passionate kiss

Sugar and tears, sugar and tears
One drop of salty water, a whisper in my ear
From the eastern to the western hemisphere
Women rule the world with sugar and tears
Sugar and tears, sugar and tears
