You can do what you want to do
You can be who you want to be
Just remember that me and you
Ain't all there is
To bein' free

People need love
People need trust
People need one another
And that means us
My sugar babe
Believe me sugar babe

Everyone knows it ain't easy
But when you get it all together in your heart
It's the easiest thing to do to be pleasin'
Folks ain't made to live apart

People need love
People need trust
People need one another
And that means us
Sugar babe

Let yourself be open honey learn to bend
Remember everyone gets scared,
But I'm still your best friend
When you forget about yourself,
And think of things to do
To make me happy then you love me girl
Like I love you
How do turtles talk to one another
They just look, there's no reason to cower
Just like people they're drawn to each other
They don't live in no ivory tower

People need love
People need trust
People need one another
And that means us
My sugar babe
Come on now sugar babe
You know you hear me sugar babe
Come on sweet Rita
You're my sugar babe
Believe me sugar babe

So close, then again so far away
Where are the answers, I hear them everyday
Lovin' you from a distance never did make it anyway

So close, then again so far away
Here come little Miss Bright eyes
Socking it to me everyday
I got to get next to the girl
Or I got to get away
