May I Borrow Some Sugar From You
Waylon Jennings · Waylon & Willie, Vol. 2 (w. Willie Nelson) [RCA Victor] [1982]
You don't know me from Adam, madam
May I introduce myself to you?
I live one floor down below
I hear and know almost everything you do
I used to hear four feet dancin'
Now I'm countin' only two
May I borrow some sugar from you?
You can call me nosy neighbor
I'll admit it's mostly truth
But it's hard to satisfy a cravin?
Can you relate to an old sweet tooth?
?Cause coffee all alone every mornin?
Makes a bitter tastin? brew
Can I borrow some sugar from you?
Don't know how I got this feeling
Maybe it's because your floor is my ceiling
At times I wish it would just crash on through
'Cause coffee all alone every mornin?
Makes a bitter tastin? brew
May I borrow some sugar from you?
You don't know me from Adam, madam
May I introduce myself to you?
I live one floor down below
I hear and know almost everything you do
I used to hear four feet dancin'
Now I'm countin' only two
May I borrow some sugar from you?
'Cause coffee all alone every mornin?
Makes a bitter tastin? brew
Can I borrow a little sugar from you?
Well, I used to hear four feet dancin'
Now I'm countin' only two
May I borrow some sugar from you?
'Cause coffee all alone every mornin?
Sure makes a bitter tastin? brew
May I introduce myself to you?
I live one floor down below
I hear and know almost everything you do
I used to hear four feet dancin'
Now I'm countin' only two
May I borrow some sugar from you?
You can call me nosy neighbor
I'll admit it's mostly truth
But it's hard to satisfy a cravin?
Can you relate to an old sweet tooth?
?Cause coffee all alone every mornin?
Makes a bitter tastin? brew
Can I borrow some sugar from you?
Don't know how I got this feeling
Maybe it's because your floor is my ceiling
At times I wish it would just crash on through
'Cause coffee all alone every mornin?
Makes a bitter tastin? brew
May I borrow some sugar from you?
You don't know me from Adam, madam
May I introduce myself to you?
I live one floor down below
I hear and know almost everything you do
I used to hear four feet dancin'
Now I'm countin' only two
May I borrow some sugar from you?
'Cause coffee all alone every mornin?
Makes a bitter tastin? brew
Can I borrow a little sugar from you?
Well, I used to hear four feet dancin'
Now I'm countin' only two
May I borrow some sugar from you?
'Cause coffee all alone every mornin?
Sure makes a bitter tastin? brew
May I Borrow Some Sugar From You
Waylon Jennings delivers a smooth, country-rock performance on this track from the collaborative album Waylon & Willie, Vol. 2. Released in 1982, the recording features Jennings' signature slide guitar and vocal style, characteristic of his work during the outlaw country era. The song reflects the collaborative spirit shared with Willie Nelson, a hallmark of their partnership that defined the genre's sound in the early 1980s. This track exemplifies Jennings' ability to blend traditional country elements with a more modern, rock-inflected approach, capturing the essence of the music scene of his time.
