lyrics

Sugar-proof

A married man in a mongrel hotel far from home
A lonely girl sees him at the bar and gives the dog a bone
Turns up the heat and sits too near
Adds a gin to his order of beer

Sugar-proof, you may be pretty but your not the one the one for me
Yes I’m sugar-proof, you’re bright lights your big city
but your not the one the one for me

She’s so witty she makes him laugh he doesn’t feel alone
And she’s so pretty, he reaches out and turns off the phone
Flirts and to his surprise falls headlong into her whirlpool eyes

His wife at home, in bed, alone, hoping he’s ok
The kids are hard to settle when their daddy’s away,
when their daddy’s away

it’s after midnight, she kisses him and hands him her room key
he hold’s her tight like she was his wife and now he’s lost at sea
put’s the key back in her hand
put’s his feet back on dry land
