The Jackson 5 – Sugar Daddy

It achieved no.3 on the R&B singles chart and no.10 on the Hot 100 in the US, but failed to chart in the UK.

It was featured on the ‘Michael White’ episode of the new Jackson 5 cartoon series in 1971.

It was originally planned as the lead single from a new Jackson 5 album, but instead included on the Jackson 5’s Greatest Hits compilation, issued in December 1971 in the US and August 1972 in the UK.

Sugar Daddy – Lyrics

Doo doo ba doo doo doo doo
Doo doo ba doo doo doo doo
Doo doo ba doo doo doo doo
Doo doo ba doo doo doo doo

Ooh, brand new boots I bought ya
Fine, fine, blew your mind
Finally thought I caught ya
And your love was mine all mine

I see you walk by with other guys,
Step, step, stepin’ on my toes
The whole world’s talkin’ ’bout
How I’m your stand by Santa Claus

But ooh, your kisses thrill me,
Show love your angel eyes
The devil in you kills me,
But I made up my mind

I’m gonna be your sugar daddy,
Give you honey all my money
Well L.A. to Cincinatti,
That’s how far I’d crawl for you
Oh baby, I’ll be your sugar daddy,
Give you kissin’ when it’s missin’, yeah
Oh baby, I’ll try to keep you happy
‘Cause I got a sweet tooth for your love

S-U-G, listen to me, listen to me
A-R, what it is, what it is
D-A-D-D-Y spells I’m your good thing

King of fools they crowned me
And the crown just fits me to a "T"
‘Cause you only come around me
Just to pick up what you need
You just play on my emotions,
With please, please, pretty please
Well everybody’s got the notion
I’m your goodwill industry

(Oh Henry)
He’s driving me nuts,
While I’m giving you the candy
He’s gettin’ all you love
(Mary Jane said)
Mary Jane said I’m just your lollipop (sucker)
Well my flavor’s longlasting girl,
It ain’t never gonna stop, no

Baby, I’m a fool,
Just a fool in love with you
I can’t help myself, oh no
Oh no I can’t help myself

I’m gonna be your sugar daddy,
Give you honey all my money
Well L.A. to Cincinatti
That’s how far I’d crawl for you
Oh baby I’ll be your sugar daddy,
Give you kissin’ when it’s missin’
I’ll even let you drive my caddy,
When I get one, baby
I’m gonna be your sugar daddy,
Give you honey, all my money
