Lyrics for Ruby My Dear

Sugar, I call my baby my sugar I never maybe my sugar That sugar baby of mine He's special ration Funny, he never asks for my money All I give him is honey And that he can spend anytime I'd make a million trips to lips It I were a bee Because he's sweeter than chocolate candy to me He's confectionery Sugar, I never cheat on my Sugar Cause I'm too sweet on my Sugar That sugar baby of mine
