Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I sparkle
Loving the way that I do
It is true I feel so good
Just having you
Breathlessly and eager
Submission isn't easy for me
We were so loving, wasn't we?
I'd always known it could be
[Verse 2]
Don't want to do nothing
Girl against your will
This ain't no cheap thrill
I really miss the way you feel
If ever you fall and you don't know what to do
I have nothing but myself
And I give myself to you
[Verse 3]
Say child tingle sparkle
I hope the love never breaks away
Keep the little fire burning every day
Save it all for you
[Verse 4]
Don't wanna feel misused
So let this love be true
Understand there'll be no other woman but you baby
You can believe this love for me
'Cause I believe in you
[Verse 5]
And when comes the need
And I'm really on your mind
Everybody needs some time
Something funky good and kind
I sparkle with the fire
Going higher (Higher, higher)
You always seem to please me
As you're wearing me down so easy
[Verse 6]
Just want you to know
When your jealousy shows
Understand there'll be no other woman but you baby
You can believe this love in me
As I believe in you
[Verse 7]
Don't wanna do you nothing
Girl against your will
This ain't no cheap thrill
You know just how I feel
If you think you're gonna fall
All you have to do is call
I have nothing but myself
And I give myself to you
[Verse 8]
Breathlessly and eager
You got me 'round your finger
I sparkle with the fire
Going higher higher higher
You always seem to please me
And you wear me down so easily
Good work is never done
Until the morning until the morning
When the morning comes baby
Baby baby baby
Yeah yeah
I sparkle, sparkle
