Lyric

I slid in quiet

At the corner seat

You stirred your cup slow

Like you heard my heart beat

One little sugar

On the saucer's edge

I watched it melt down

Like a word I couldn't say

So I smiled at the steam

And I looked away

You asked for my name

I forgot what to say

One sugar confession

One sugar confession

I like you, I do

I like you, I do

One sugar confession

Under low gold light

If you stay one more minute

I might get it right

The spoon made a circle

In the porcelain glow

Your laugh brushed past me

Soft and sweet and slow

I meant to be brave

But my voice went thin

So I left my truth

In the sugar by your chin

And the room felt smaller

When you leaned in close

You said, "Tell me something"

I said, "Maybe so"

One sugar confession

One sugar confession

I like you, I do

I like you, I do

One sugar confession

Under low gold light

If you stay one more minute

I might get it right

If my hands shook, darling

It was only you

If my heart ran circles

It was running true

I can say it plainly

Now the night is kind

I wanted your name

And your hand in mine

One sugar confession

One sugar confession

I like you, I do

I like you, I do

One sugar confession

Let the whole room see

You were in my teacup

From the first sip of me

One sugar confession

Stay a little while

I was born to blush

When you give me that smile
