I got my back to the sun 'cause the light is too intense
I can see what everybody in the world is up against
You can't turn back you can't come back, sometimes we push too far
One day you'll open up your eyes and you'll see where we areSugar Baby get on down the road
You ain't got no brains, no how
You went years without me
Might as well keep going nowSome of these bootleggers, they make pretty good stuff
Plenty of places to hide things here if you want to hide 'em bad enough
I'm staying with Aunt Sally, but you know, she's not really my aunt
Some of these memories you can learn to live with and some of them you can'tSugar Baby get on down the line
You ain't got no brains, no how
You went years without me
You might as well keep going nowThe ladies down in Darktown, they're doing the Darktown Strut
You always got to be prepared but you never know for what
There ain't no limit to the amount of trouble women bring
Love is pleasing, love is teasing, love's not an evil thingSugar Baby, get on down the road
You ain't got no brains, no how
You went years without me
Might as well keep going nowEvery moment of existence seems like some dirty trick
Happiness can come suddenly and leave just as quick
Any minute of the day the bubble could burst
Try to make things better
For someone, sometimes you just end up making it a thousand times worseSugar Baby, get on down the road
You ain't got no brains no how
You went years without me
Might as well keep going nowYour charms have broken many a heart and mine is surely one
You got a way of tearing a world apart, love, see what you done
Just as sure as we're living, just as sure as you're born
Look up, look up seek your Maker 'fore Gabriel blows his hornSugar Baby, get on down the line
You ain't got no sense, no how
You went years without me
Might as well keep going now
