[VERSE]
B                    
She floats like a swan
B7
Grace on the water
B
Lips like sugar
B7
Lips like sugar
B
Just when you think you've caught her
B7
She glides across the water
B
She calls for you tonight
B7
To share this moonlight

[PRE-CHORUS]
B
You'll flow her river
B
She'll ask & you'll give her...

[CHORUS]
          A
Lips like sugar
      B
Sugar kisses
          A
Lips like sugar
      B
Sugar kisses

[VERSE]
B
She knows what you know
B7
I know what she's thinking
B
Sugar kisses, sugar kisses
B7
Just when you think she's yours
B
She's flown to other shores
B7
To laugh at how you break
B
And melt into this lake

[PRE-CHORUS]
B
You'll flow down her river
B
But you'll never give her...

[CHORUS]
          A
Lips like sugar
      B
Sugar kisses
          A
Lips like sugar
      B
Sugar kisses

[SOLO]
(E B) 3X

[VERSE]
B
She'll be my mirror
B7
Reflect what I am
B
Loose women
B7
The king of Siam
B
And my siamese twin
B7
Alone in the river
B
Mirror kisses, mirror kisses...

[CHORUS]
          A
Lips like sugar
      B
Sugar kisses
          A
Lips like sugar
      B
Sugar kisses
