Think a Little Sugar
Rediscovering Love's Conversation: Think a Little Sugar by Barbara Lewis
Lyrics
Don't want a holly golly
Expressing a desire for a genuine and sincere connection, avoiding superficiality.
Don't wanna do the twist
Rejecting energetic and trendy dances, suggesting a preference for meaningful interaction.
I just wanna sit & talk with you, baby
Desiring a quiet and intimate conversation with a significant other.
All night long about the things we missed together
Longing to discuss missed experiences and memories throughout the night.
So if you'll just think a little sugar
Encouraging the partner to reflect and consider the value of their time together.
If you'll just think a little sugar
Repeating the call to think about the relationship's significance.
You'll find you're wasting an awful lot of valuable time
Warning against wasting precious time and emphasizing the importance of the connection.
Don't wanna hear no radio
Rejecting external distractions, such as radio, to focus on the relationship.
I don't wanna hear no jams
Avoiding loud and energetic music, prioritizing meaningful conversation instead.
I just wanna sit & talk with you, baby
Reiterating the desire for a deep conversation and expressing loneliness.
I'll tell you just how lonely I have been
Offering to share feelings of loneliness during the conversation.
So just think a little sugar
Re-emphasizing the importance of thoughtful reflection on the relationship.
Think a little sugar
Repeating the plea to think about the sweetness and significance of the relationship.
& you'll find you're wasting an awful lot of valuable time
Highlighting the potential regret in wasting valuable time if the relationship is not cherished.
If we could have stayed together I know
Expressing regret about a separation and imagining a different outcome if they had stayed together.
The days & nights we spent alone
Reflecting on the shared moments of solitude during days and nights apart.
Would have been the love over the years
Suggesting that enduring love over the years would have replaced loneliness.
& there wouldn't have been any tears
Imagining a scenario where love would prevail, preventing the need for tears.
But I don't wanna talk about a dance
Avoiding discussions about a dance, possibly symbolic of past events or distractions.
For the dance has gone
Acknowledging the end of a particular phase or experience, moving beyond it.
I just wanna sit & talk with you, baby
Reiterating the desire for a quiet and intimate conversation, focusing on the present.
All about the future, but it's been so long
Expressing a desire to discuss the future after a prolonged period of separation.
So just think a little sugar
Re-emphasizing the importance of thoughtful reflection for the relationship's future.
Think a little sugar
Repeating the call to think and consider the sweetness of the relationship.
& you'll find we've wasted enough of our valuable time
Stressing that enough time has already been wasted and encouraging a change.
& you'll find we've wasted enough of our valuable time
Continuing the emphasis on avoiding further waste of valuable time in the relationship.
