Sugar Love Poem by Buddy Bee Anthony

I've looked up and down the alley
I have searched for you in school
I've slinked around dim backstreets
drivin' truck 'n' eatin' gruel.
Can't you see, I'm not no Devil
I ain't hurtin' anyone
Though I can't say why
the love I've taken's
been stolen on the run.
I will search now and forever
even write your name in blood.
I'm just doin' what I gotta do
to find you
Sugar Love.
What if your love's
around the corner
lyin' just around the bend
I'll keep waitin' on tomorrow
when today won't ever end
Could it be you're just some woman/child
givin' my misery a shove?
I'm still doin
what I gotta do
to find you
Sugar Love.
I've tried followin' your heartbeats
I've been searchin' like a fool
I've sniffed around gruff barrooms
playin' cards 'n' shootin' pool
If love's only for the lucky
then watch me push and shove
Until that day
this good ole boy
he finds you
Sugar Love...
