Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the beginning when life was simple
We were at each other night and day
You were so sensual and so inventive
We said we'd stick together come what may
[Verse 2]
In the beginning, you were so brutal
You turned the heat on in the afternoon
Get so excited, get so addicted
You had me eatin' from your golden spoon
[Verse 3]
Now I don't wanna spoil the party
I know it goes against the grain
As the plane touched down I got movies of you
Runnin' through my fevered brain
[Verse 4]
I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up
I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up
I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up
[Verse 5]
In the beginning when we were winnin'
I was your ever-present lovesick fool
You turned the heat off and left me standin'
Freezin' by your swimming pool
[Verse 6]
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
[Verse 7]
Now I don't wanna spoil the party
I know it goes against the grain
As the plane touched down and the midnight moon
I can't just walk away
[Verse 8]
Really love my sweet thing, wanna lick it up
Really love my sweet thing, wanna lick it up, hey
Really love
[Verse 9]
I can't give it up, shake it
Really love my sweet thing, can't give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
Hey, hey, hey
Really love my sweet thing, I can't give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
