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
Oh, 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
Oh, sugar babe
You may sing it now, sugar babe
Oh, sugar babe
You may sing it now, 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
Oh, 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, oh, yeah
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
