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, I've just been doin' the same old thing I've always been doin'
You know, I've got a new lady now
And it's a little different than it was when I was with you
You know, I think back to when we met
The way I used 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 turned 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
You showed me so much 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's gift to women
Remember how I used to do that, I must have been crazy then
Remember when you 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, tasted teardrop stains, yeah
You were cold as ice long ago, baby, baby
(I, I wasn't, I, I wasn't very nice, I know)
Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar
Then I kissed your lips
And you turned on my fire, baby
Then you showed me what a love could do
Fire and desire, feelin' good to you
You turned on my fire, baby
And you burn me up within your flame
Fire and desire and we're both to blame, both to blame
You know, I guess I think we both said a little too much today
After all Tee, you're kind of with somebody else
I'm kind of livin' with somebody
But please do me a favor just before you go
Just put your arms around me and hold me like you used to
Tell me, "Rick, everything is gonna be alright"
Put your arms around me
Put your arms around me
Oh, baby, oh, baby
