While You’re Out Looking For Sugar? Lyrics By The Honey Cone

    how long can i go on amusing myself
    night after night sitting all alone
    while you’re in the arms of someone else
    now don’t you know that

    while you’re out looking for sugar
    somebody’s gonna take your honey and gone
    while you’re out looking for sugar
    somebody’s gonna take your honey and gone
    you just buzz buzz buzz here and there
    spreadin’ your love everywhere

    you think you’re the sugar ole daddy with a candy kiss
    you think without your love i can’t exist
    don’t think for a minute ’cause i’m true
    and don’t want nobody here but you

    oh while you’re out looking for sugar
    one day somebody’s gonna take your honey and gone

    how long can i be faithful
    truly i don’t know
    but if i find myself in the arms of someone else
    darling it’s all your fault

    how long can i go on amusing myself
    night after night sitting all alone
    while you’re in the arms of someone else
    now don’t you know that

    while you’re out looking for sugar
    somebody’s gonna take your honey and gone
    while you’re out looking for sugar
    one day somebody’s gonna take your honey and gone
    buzz buzz buzz here and there
    you just spreadin’ your love everywhere everywhere

    ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
    oooh ooh
    oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

    from another woman’s door you come sneakin’
    back to my door you come creepin’
    you’re sneakin’ across the floor with your shoes in your hands
    how much more do you think i can stand

    while you’re out looking for sugar
    somebody’s gonna take your honey and gone
    while you’re out looking for sugar
    somebody’s gonna take your honey and gone

    while you’re out looking for sugar
    somebody’s gonna take your honey and gone
    while you’re out looking for sugar
    somebody’s gonna take your honey and gone

    while you’re out looking for sugar
    one day somebody’s gonna take your honey and gone
