Performance tip
Sugar on My Tongue needs one clear preparation choice: mark breaths before the busier lines so the phrasing stays relaxed. For Sugar on My Tongue, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.
Should you sing it?
Sugar on My Tongue makes sense for a singer who can handle fairly active phrasing and sell the romantic angle. It has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
