"Shug Avery" lyrics

Fantasia, Colman Domingo & The Color Purple Ensemble Lyrics

"Shug Avery"
(from "The Color Purple" soundtrack)

Shug Avery's comin' to town
Shug Avery's comin'
Shug Avery's comin' to town
You know that she's comin'
She sting like a honey bee
Sweet pain comin' over me
Skirt so short, gonna shock your ma
Make a man wanna break the law

She's a tramp in a tight dress (Cryin' shame)
Lookin' like a hot mess (Shug's her name)
Bouncin' in the bed (Drinkin' all your gin)
Bumpin' in the shed (Lovin' all the men)

Ain't no other woman like Shug
You know she's comin'
Ain't no other woman like Shug
When Shug come across that county line, county line

Oh, Shug Avery comin' to town
Shug Avery comin' to town
Lock up all your mens and your young boys, too
Got no friends 'cept the ones she screw
Shug Avery comin' to town
Shug Avery's comin' to town
Shug Avery's comin'
Shug Avery's comin' to town
You know that she's comin'

Got about a million questions
Rollin' around my head
What she wear?
How her hair?
Is she skinny?
Is she stout?
Must be something to fuss about

Ain't no other woman like Shug
Don't you know it ain't no lie?
When Shug come across that county line

Ooh, that Shug, you know she no good
A snake in the woods, gonna poison you
You don't understand what it do to a man
When you in her hands and she turn that screw
Better say farewell, 'cause you're going to Hell
But a man feel swell when he in her spell
Better lock your doors, better change your drawers
She's comin', comin', comin', comin'

Shug Avery comin' to town
Shug Avery comin' to town
Lock up all your mens and your young boys, too
Got no friends 'cept the ones she screw
Shug Avery comin' to town
Shug Avery comin' to town (Comin' to town, to town, to town)
Shug Avery comin' to town (You don't understand what it do to a man)
Shug Avery comin' to town (You don't understand what it do to a man)
Shug Avery comin' to town
Shug Avery's comin', comin', comin'
Comin' to town
