A lemon has more sugar than a strawberry. A lemon contains 2.5 grams of sugar. The sweetness in a lemon is overwhelmed by citric acid, resulting in a sour taste. A strawberry has just 0.6 grams.

NOTE: A lemon weighs 120g on average and produces about 40g of lemon juice. Assuming that the juice of lemon contain all of the sugar, this calculates to 0.75g/12g of juice, which is slightly higher than 0.6g/strawberry. An average strawberry weighs 12g. However, if you decide to pulverise the whole lemon with the pulp and rind, then 12g of the sludge will have 0.25g of sugar.
