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
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
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
You call me sugarbaby but do you swear
Do you swear
