Suga Mama Lyrics

[Intro]
Damn, that was so good
I wanna buy him a short set
Hey, hey


[Verse 1]
I'ma be like a jolly rancher
That you get from the corner store
Or I'ma be like a waffle cone
That's drippin' down to the floor
The way you do it for me, I can't lie (Lie)
About to be up in the mall all night (Yes)
Whatever I get, you puttin' it on (Yes)
Don't give me no lip, let mama do it all

[Chorus]
Let me be, I wants to be, gots to be
Your suga, give mama some suga, mama
Suga mama, mama (Suga mama)
I'm your suga mama (Suga mama)
Let me be, I wants to be, gots to be (Gots to be, gots to be)
Got new whip, new heavy on the wrist
'Cause I'm a suga mama, mama
I'm your suga mama (Suga mama, hey, hey)

[Post-Chorus]
Sit on mama lap (Hey, hey)
Come sit on mama lap (Hey)
Come sit on mama lap (Hey, hey)
Come sit on mama lap (Hey)
[Verse 2]
It's so good to the point that I'd
Do anything to keep you home (Yes, yes, yes)
Baby, what you want me to buy?
My accountant's waiting on the phone (On the phone)
Just the thought of making love to you (You)
Dropping everything, that's what I'll do (I'll do)
Whatever I get, you putting it on (Oh)
Now, take it off while I watch you perform

[Chorus]
Let me be, I wants to be, gots to be
Your suga, give mama some suga, mama
Suga mama, mama (Suga mama)
I'm your suga mama (Suga mama)
Let me be, I wants to be, gots to be (Gots to be, gots to be)
Got new whip, new heavy on the wrist
'Cause I'm a suga mama, mama
I'm your suga mama (Suga mama)
'Cause I'm a suga mama, mama

[Post-Chorus]
Sit on mama lap (Hey, hey)
Come sit on mama lap (Hey)
Come sit on mama lap (Hey, hey)
Come sit on mama lap (Hey)
[Bridge]
And I've always been the type to take care of mine
I know just what I'm doing, don't you worry, it's cool
And everything is steady, got you on my taxes already
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I promise I won't let no bills get behind
'Cause every touch, every kiss and hug
You best believe it'll be on time
Suga mama, mama, mama, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Let me be, I wants to be, gots to be
Your suga, give mama some suga, mama
(I give you all my money, baby)
Suga mama, mama (Suga mama)
(You turn me on, boy, something crazy)
I'm your suga mama (Suga mama)
(Take my credit cards, live here in my house, take my car)
Let me be, I wants to be, gots to be (Gots to be, gots to be)
Got new whip, new heavy on the wrist
(Don't forget to give mama some sugar)
'Cause I'm a suga mama, mama
(Some sugar before you walk out that door)
I'm your suga mama (Suga mama, hey, hey)

[Post-Chorus]
Sit on mama lap (Yes, hey, hey)
Come sit on mama lap (Yes, hey)
Come sit on mama lap (Yeah, yeah, hey, hey)
Come sit on mama lap (Yeah, yeah, hey)
Sit on mama lap (Yes, hey, hey)
Come sit on mama lap (Yes, hey)
Come sit on mama lap (Yeah, yeah, hey, hey)
Come sit on mama lap (Yeah, yeah, hey)
