Sugar Woman 03:57
Sugar Woman, has lost her sweetness Spoiled by those who picked her Climate is no good for her seasons, yeah Some say she’s rotten to the core With every season, she’s making money But there’s seems to be no change Bittersweet they want all her honey And they think it's all the same Girl, don’t ya wanna come in from the cold? Girl, don’t ya want someone real to hold? There's a place where you can bask in the sun Ooh yeah, sweet Ooh my sweet Sugar Woman Sugar Woman, looks for love On the corners that know her name Ooh, she's flashing like a red light No vacancy Some say she’s to blame, yeah With strange shadows in the moonlight Oh oh oh, she seems to disappear They pay cheap and want all her honey And they think it's all the same Girl, don’t ya wanna come in from the cold? Girl, don’t ya want someone real to hold? There's a place where you can bask in the sun Sweet, ooh my sweet Sugar Woman (Don’t keep running) Don’t keep running (Love) You can find it, love (Don’t keep running) You can find it (You can find it) Oh, love! Girl, don’t ya wanna come in from the cold, yeah? Girl, don’t ya want someone real to hold? There's a place where you can bask in the sun Sweet, ooh my sweet girl Don’t cha wanna come in from the cold, yeah? Girl don’t ya want someone real to hold? There's a place where you can bask in the sun Sweet, Sugar Woman My Sugar Woman, yeah You can be sweet, so sweet, sweet You can be sweet, so sweet

about

This is my debut EP. :)

Releasing this EP is a huge milestone for me. With my album release being pushed back to 2022, I thought this was the perfect time to release a smaller body of work, while I finish up the album. By releasing this EP, I get to show you more of my sound and more of who I am as an artist and songwriter, which is all very exciting to me!

I hope you enjoy!

Love and light,
~Acantha
