Too Much Sugar For A Dime Chords by Katie Webster

[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
[D] Child, I [Bm] thought I had myself [A] a good man,
till I found out I had too much sugar for a dime.
[E] _ [G] [A] I thought I had myself a good man,
he was so kind and sweet,
_ had good looks and a fine body,
and he dressed so nice [D] and neat.
I'd come home from work,
we'd have dinner cookin' [A] the hot spring,
I thought he looked so sexy,
let a apron dim tie [F#] 18's.
[E] Oh, my man was sweet as honey,
[A] _ [D] and that suited me just [Am] fine,
till I [A] found out I had too [E] much sugar for a [A] dime.
[D] My [A] man would style [C#m] my hair,
[Em] [A] do my nails and make up too. _
There was nothing I'd ask of him
that he [D] wouldn't do.
I came down to making love,
I [G] never thought [D] about another,
[A] _
there was no one to compare to my man undercover.
[E] Oh, my man was sweet as [A] honey,
[D] [Am] and that suited [D] me just fine,
[A]
till I found out I had too much sugar for a dime.
[D] Too much sugar [C] _ [D] for a dime.
_ [A] Jody and Judy [Em] [E] had been [A] dating a long time,
now I [E] know a good man [A] is hard to find,
[D] but please [Bm] take your time,
[A]
there's no one like me
with too much sugar for a dime. _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Am] _
[D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
I [A] _ _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _
loved making slow dime,
he started staying out late,
said he'd be out with a fella,
you know, so being a good wife, I tried to relate.
I noticed my man,
had a new whip wearing his hair,
started coming home with a smile on his face,
and I know I didn't put it there.
He got one of his ears pierced,
[D] started [A] using my [Em] neck,
[A]
and I said,
he started pulling my hair on his leg,
the pain just took me back,
[A]
I said, darling, that's all right,
you can use it anytime, _
and I noticed that the stockings he was wearing,
people [D] wore [C] stockings, they were mine,
[E] now my man was sweet as honey,
[A] _ [D] [Am] and that suited me just fine,
[A]
so I found out,
I had too much sugar [E] for a dime,
[A] too [D] much sugar [C] for [D] a [Am] dime.
_ [A] Darling, look, darling,
I've been waiting all the time,
[C#] I know [E] a good man is hard [A] to find,
[D] girl, please [Am] take your time,
[D] don't wind up [A] like me,
with too much sugar for [A] a dime.
Too much [D] sugar!
