Mtume - Sugar Free

Mtume/Juicy - Sugar Free (HQ)

Lyrics:
My I.U. is gone
I miss him everyday
Ah, mh, yeah
Mh, ah, oh, yeah
Mh, ah, oh, yeah
Mh, ah, oh, yeah
Oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh no
Heavy, heavy
Oh sugar
I'm sugar free
In the night
I'm sugar free
In the day
My sweetheart
Had to go away
For a little while
And when my I.U
Is not here with me
I'm the helpless type
I'm sugar free
In the night
(So lonely, so lonely)
I'm sugar free
In the day
(So lonely, yeah)
I know he loves me
I know he cares
Cause he's all mine
And soon he'll be knockin'
At my door
Things will be alright
I'm sugar free
In the night
(So lonely, so lonely)
I'm sugar free
In the day
(I feel so lonely, yeah)
Listen, let me explain
I like livin' my life in the fast lane
Partyin' hard and havin' fun
Females - I need more than one
Straight up and down on the serious tip
I ain't with no relationship
It may sound like a diss but believe me it's not
Matter of fact I really like you a lot
But it's a dead issue for you to pursue
Cause yo boo, I like you but I like others too
The heartaches, the breaks, the pains, I don't need em
Instead give me some head and a whole lotta freedom
I like to swing, I ain't with no commitment
Parties, ladies and beer by the shipment
But when I do my thing you get mad
Call me on the telephone soundin' all sad
Don't mean to hurt your feelings, my dear
But listen here, I'm the mack of the year
So if you have plans to settle down with me
I guess you just have to be - sugar free
Oh my sugar's gone
He's gone away
I miss him every night
And every day
Oh my sugar's gone
He's gone away
I miss him every night
And every day
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyday, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
My sugar is gone
I.U.
I.U.
My sugar is gone
Oh sugar
Heavy
My sugar's gone
Oh my sugar's gone
He's gone away
Yo, that sounds beautiful
That's another rapid shipment

#Mtume #Funk

[francishodge]

I grew up in the 80s and the privilege to listen many brilliant underrated superb Soul funk smoove groove bands Mtume is a band like many that didn't get the recognition they deserved .
Even in 2024
Timeless
If it moves funk it

Sugar Free by Juicy, what a tune in the 80's, so many memories from this track. Can never tire of this song.

[sdrice]

As an 80s baby, I love love love this song, and I dig its sample "Sugar Hill" by AZ. Classic music is timeless.

[wilbertfinktonjr.]

Rest in eternal peace James Mtume...You put out such good music over time.

[Ankhakaru]

I can still see my mother dancing to this in the living room in New Jersey. Sleep well mom.

[wrldtvlr]

Rest in Peace, James Mtume. Thank you for the music.

[misscurry]

The 300 people who disliked this song all suck. The beat on this track is sick, that's why its sampled over and over again. Classic!

[ladyindigo]

Such a classic and the lead singer has such a beautiful voice! 😍 Provocative sound... She makes you miss the one you never had. ❤️🔥🔥

[huseebasghar]

This is truly a timeless classic. Masterpiece!

[keithshuler]

Got this on repeat 5.20.24 driving my wife crazy. It was banging in the 80's and it still got me chill.

[jamescurran]

One of the best albums of that year, I was a teenager when this dropped. Best time of my life

[Joserobertosilvaoliveira]

Som de primeira que me faz voltar aos tempos de moleque nos anos 80. Épocas do funk Black de verdade.

[missplum]

[kdm]

This one of them feel good songs, you can't stay in a bad mood bumpin this

[kelleydorsey]

This songs reminds me of family cookouts. Good food, shit talking and spades. Good ole days ❤️

[ceofounder]

Growing up as a kid in the 1980s; Brooklyn roller skating with grown ups to this song inside of the Empire Roller skating Rink.
Timeless R&B classic!
1980s had some of the best R&B dance music!

[dragostudoran]

The bass guitar, beat and choir absolute brilliant...Beautiful music arrangement.

[Jayallstar]

This song takes me back to the early 80's in Brooklyn...playing on the stoop during those hot summer days while someone had a boombox playing that real R&B. Those were good times

[mayjahkey]

Tears in my eyes behind these dark shades-I’m drunk, high, happy & sad all at once-these tunes keep me alive….everyday….

[teaminfiniti]

Back when life was simple! This brings back a lot of childhood memories
