Gimme Some Sweet Sugar
When you're young, love is like a dreamy candy shop. There are glass jars floor to ceiling filled with M&Ms, caramels, sticky gumdrops, chocolate drops and jujubes. There are bright lollipops of every flavor and tempting cupcakes of every variety, inviting you to taste. Life is so sweet.

Over time, however, you discover that some of those tasty treats have a yucky licorice center. Other goodies are secured on the top shelf far beyond your reach. Then there are some that are beautiful to behold but bland and unsatisfying. (They don't call them "eye candy" for nothing.)

Hopefully, you've found a sweetheart who can please all of your senses. If so, why not make your own playlist of songs about love that's sugar sweet? Here's our selection of pop, rock, soul, country and R&B songs to get you started.

1. "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard
   Amid all the big hair of the 1980s there was this amazing heavy metal song from 1987 with such overtly suggestive sexual references it'll make you cringe (or recall memories to make you smile).

1. "Lips Like Sugar" by Coldplay
   This 2002 song describes a captivating, elusive woman who floats like a swan and who offers sugary kisses.

How Sweet Are Your Lover's Kisses?

1. "Sugartime" by Kitty Wells
   Think you don't know this 1959 classic? Think again. If you've ever heard the following syrypy, sing-song lyrics, this song is the source: "Sugar in the morning sugar in the evening sugar at suppertime."

2. "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" by James Taylor
   "Like sugar in my soul." That's how this soft rock song from 1975 describes a lover's impact. If your honey has elevated your spirit and provided you with sweet tenderness, why not thank him or her with a song dedication?

3. "Sugar" by Maroon 5
   In this 2015 hit, sugar is the one antidote for this man's broken down, weak-kneed condition. He says he doesn't want to be in this condition, in need of his lover's affection, then he pulls an about face and asks for a taste of her love. Sounds like he's about to go into sugar shock. Better give him what he needs!

4. "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies
   There's a reason they referred to this 1969 song as "bubblegum pop." Its lyrics are so syrupy they almost drip:

Ah sugar, ah honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you.

1. "Like Sugar" by Matchbox Twenty
   In this 2012 song, a man is trying to forget his lover but finds her as addictive as sugar. Obsessing over her sugary taste, it looks like he's losing his bid to move on.

2. "Sugar You" by Oh Honey
   Indie rock band Oh Honey released this sweet song in 2015 that describes unconditional acceptance for a lover:

Sugar, don't you change a thing
You're already everything I want
Sugar, don't you change a thing
Can't you see you're everything I'm not.
