Sugar High – Chappell Roan

Chocolate covered lover, you’ve never been so sweet before

Open our bodies, I quietly knock on your door

I-I-I just wanna sweet talk for awhile

Whisper all the things I absolutely adore

About your smile, it’s like I’m in a candy store

Oh-h-h, I love your sugar coating words

Maybe it’s the way the honey drips off of your lips

Maybe it’s the taste of your caramel apple kiss

And your heart is so sweet, all that sugar loving, it belongs to me

Candy man, you are mine

You know how you get me, get me sugar high

High, oh, high

High, oh, high

Your cotton candy voice melts in my mouth as you speak

Beautiful boy, your words are made of poetry

I-I-I could listen to you all day

Maybe it’s the way you laffy taffy love

Maybe it’s the way you run your hands up my back

And your heart is so sweet, all that sugar loving, it belongs to me

Candy man, you are mine

You know how you get me, get me sugar high

High, oh, high

High, oh, high

Maybe it’s the way you lay me down at night

Or how you turn November into hot summer July

And your heart is so sweet, all that sugar loving, it belongs to me

Candy man, you are mine

You know how you get me, get me sugar high

Sensual Sweets: Exploring the Lyrics of “Sugar High”

“Sugar High” by Chappell Roan is a delightful, candy-coated pop track that uses playful confectionery metaphors to express romantic infatuation. The lyrics are brimming with sweet imagery—chocolate, caramel, cotton candy—that evoke the intoxicating rush of new love. Roan’s clever wordplay and lush descriptions paint her lover as both irresistible and comforting, drawing a parallel between the pleasures of sweetness and the emotions of intimacy. The recurring motif of being lifted to a “sugar high” encapsulates the song’s central theme: the euphoric, almost addictive feeling of being with someone who makes life brighter and more joyful.
