The Thompson Twins were an English New Wave/pop band normally associated with the 1980s. The band formed in April of 1977, and disbanded in May of 1993. Despite their constantly-misleading name, the Twins were in fact a trio, and consisted of Tom Bailey (vocals), Alannah Currie (synth) and Joe Leeway (guitar). Leeway would eventually leave the group in the late 80s. Massively popular in the mid 1980s, the band scored a string of hits in the UK, broke into the USA and Canada and enjoyed huge popularity around the globe.

Sugar Daddy Lyrics
Thompson Twins
Well you're all grown up and lookin' good
Been painting your face like a geisha would
Been practising the art of treachery
Little girls learn this at their mothers' knee
(chorus)
Sugar Daddy gonna me you happy
Sugar Daddy gonna make it nice
Sugar Daddy gonna give you candy
But you gonna pay Sugar Daddy's price
Well I know what you want and you know how to get it
Nothin but money gonna make you feel better
I'll buy you a dress and I'll buy you a car
I might even buy you an electric guitar
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(Sweet) Oh smile for the camera
(As sugar) Yeah smile for the world
(Sweet) Oh smile....give me your best smile
(As candy) Like a sweet little girl
So don't bother me with all your personal life
And I will ignore your little white lies
And when the fairy falls from the Christmas tree
Don't ever think that you can run to me
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Yeah Sugar Daddy gonna make you happy
Sugar Daddy gonna make it right
Sugar Daddy gonna give you candy
But you gonna pay
Yeah, you're gonna pay Sugar Daddy's price
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
