Way down in Alabama 
There's a girl just a waitin' for me 
She don't have to worry 
She don't have to hurry 
Lord, I keep her so happy 

She's my sugar baby 
Sugar, sugar baby 
Sugar baby 
Sugar, sugar baby 

Lordy, Lordy pretty mama 
Yes you're tough enough 
Lordy, Lordy mama 
Go on and strut your stuff 

My sugar baby 
Sugar, sugar baby 
Sugar baby 
Sugar baby 

You know this love 
Is gonna keep on gettin' stronger 
You know my love 
Is gonna last you longer 

Sugar baby 
Sugar, sugar baby 
Sugar baby 
Sugar, sugar baby 

Sugar baby 
Sugar, sugar baby 
Sugar baby 
Sugar, sugar baby 

You know this love 
Is gonna keep on gettin' stronger 
You know my love 
Is gonna last you longer 

Sugar baby 
Sugar, sugar baby 
Sugar baby 
Sugar baby
