In response to JOE from G.I.'s query about the phrase "Give her a little sugar":
Yes, "sugar" is "kiss" in Southern slang. As a child I was told to give my grandma some sugar when we visited. Also, lecherous men would ask, "Gimme a little sugar" when flirting with women... ...which reminds me of a story that dates back to the mid-1970s. Wanda, the secretary of the grocery store my dad worked at, rightfully got furious at a salesman who had hit on her one too many times, admonishing him in front of others, "Sex sex sex, women women women, sugar sugar sugar! That's all you study!" Wanda was a #MeToo pioneer, as she embarrassed that would-be Don Juan into avoiding her from then on!
