Sugar Man lyrics
by Kris Kristofferson
[Verse 1]
There are shadows on the sidewalks of the city streets at night
And the alleyways and ugly things are hidden from the light
And somewhere soon, my baby's gonna sell her soul again
For a custom tailored lady-killer they call Sugar Man
[Verse 2]
I searched the backstreet barrooms and every cheap hotel
Asking for my baby, and they all knew her well
Well, they said, "She's out there working for the wages of her sin
And if you want to find your baby, baby, look for Sugar Man."
[Verse 3]
Well, tonight I found her on the sorry side of town
Lying cold upon the bed where she had laid her body down
I picked up the needle that had fallen from her hand
And stuck it through the money she had made for Sugar Man
[Verse 4]
There are shadows on the sidewalks of the city streets at night
And the alleyways and ugly things are hidden from the light
But the sun's gonna shine tomorrow on some dirty garbage cans
And a custom tailored lady-killer they called Sugar Man
