Wow, it's really good to see you again, baby
|
And I must admit you're looking very, very, very nice these days
|
I guess life must be treating you well, oh, me
|
Well, Ive just been doin' the same ol' thing I've always been doin'
|
|
You know, I've got a new lady now
|
And it's a little different then it was when I was with you
|
You know, I think back to when we met
|
The way I use to be and the cold way I used to act
|
|
But more than that
|
I think of how you changed me
|
With your love and sensitivity
|
Remember when I used to
|
|
Love them and leave them
|
That's what I used to do
|
Use and abuse them
|
Then I laid eyes on you
|
|
It was pain before pleasure
|
That was my claim to fame
|
With every measure, baby
|
Tasted teardrop stains, yeah
|
|
I was cold as ice long ago, baby, baby
|
I wasn't very, very, very nice, you know
|
Sugar, sugar, sugar
|
Then I kissed your lips
|
|
And you tuned on my fire, baby
|
And you burn me up within your flame
|
Took me a little higher
|
Made me live again
|
|
You turned on my fire, baby
|
Then you showed me what a love could do
|
Fire and desire, baby
|
Feel it comin' through
|
|
And I thank you, baby
|
Oh, how I thank you, baby
|
You taught me so much
|
And you showed me so much and love and insensitivity
|
|
That since you've been gone
|
I don't think I've ever felt this way before
|
You know it's funny how a man can change
|
So quickly from a cold blooded person
|
|
Thinkin' he's God gift to women
|
Remember how I use to do that
|
I must have been crazy then
|
Remember when you used to
|
|
Love them and leave them
|
Oh, that's what I used to do
|
Use them and abuse them, whoa
|
Then I laid eyes on you
|
|
It was pain before pleasure
|
Oh, that was my claim to fame
|
With every measure
|
Tasted your teardrop stains, yeah
|
|
You were cold as ice, baby, baby
|
(Woo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
|
(I, I wasn't, I, I wasn't very nice, I know, woo)
|
Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar
|
Then I kissed your lips
|
|
And you turned on
|
(You turned on, you turned on)
|
(You turned on my fire)
|
My fire, baby
|
(Ooh)
|
|
Then you showed me what a love could do
|
(Woo, hoo)
|
Fire and desire
|
(Fire and desire)
|
Feelin' good to you
|
(Feelin' good to you)
|
|
You turned on my fire, baby
|
(Fire, ooh, ooh)
|
(Oh, baby)
|
And you burn me up within your flame
|
|
(You burn me, you burn me)
|
Fire and desire
|
(Fire and desire)
|
And were both to blame, both to blame
|
(Ooh, ooh)
|
|
You know, I guess I think we both said a little too much today
|
(No, ooh, hoo, hoo)
|
After all Tee, you're kind of with somebody else
|
I'm kind of livin' with somlivinebody
|
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
|
|
But please do me a favor just before you go
|
(What is it, baby)
|
Just put your arms around me and hold me like you used
|
(I wanna hold you tight)
|
|
Tell me "Rick", "Everything is gonna be alright"
|
(Everything, everything, everything is gonna be alright)
|
Put your arms around me
|
Put your arms around me
|
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
|
|
Oh, baby
|
(Woo, ooh, ooh)
|
Oh, baby
|
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
|
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh)
|
