[Spoken Intro: Johnny Gill]
Wow
You know, it's really good to see you
You're looking so fine
Girl, I just, I can't even explain myself
Remember when I used to
[Verse 1: Johnny Gill]
Love them and leave them
That's what I used to do
Use and abuse them
'Til I laid eyes on you
It was pain before pleasure
That was my claim to fame
With every little measure
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
[Chorus: Johnny Gill]
And you turned on my fire, fire, baby
And you burn me up within your flame
Took me a little higher
You made me live again
You turned on my fire, my, my, my, my baby
And you showed me what a love could do
Fire and desire
You got me hooked on you
And I thank you, baby
[Interlude: Johnny Gill]
Oh, how I thank you
You see, you've taught me so much
You showed me so much and love and sensitivity
I used to think that I was God's gift to women
But I remember the times when you used to
[Verse 2: Coko & Johnny Gill]
Love them and leave them
That's what I used to do
Use, use them and abuse them (It's alright)
Then I laid eyes on you
It was pain before pleasure
That was my claim to fame (Yeah)
With every measure, baby
Tasted your teardrop stains, yeah
I was cold as ice long ago, oh, ooh
I wasn't, I wasn't very nice, I know
Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, yeah
Then I kissed your lips
[Chorus: Johnny Gill & Coko]
And you (You turned on) turned (You turned on) on
My fire, my fire, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
You see, you showed me what a love could do
(You burned me, you burned me)
All I got to do is stand right here and wait on your love
(Yeah, yeah)
And you turned on my fire (My fire), baby (Baby)
You see, you showed me what a love could do
All I had to do is lay right here, wait on your love
(Fire and desire) Yeah, yeah (Ooh ooh)
(So into you, baby) Baby, baby, baby
You see, you made so eager, let me
You know that you're the only one for me, yeah
(My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, yeah yeah yeah)
(Rub me the right way) Oh yes, I will
(I'm in the mood, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
See, I wanna thank you, baby
I wanna thank you, baby, 'cause you helped me live again, oh
(I love you, boy)
(You are my fire, you are my fire)
You're showing me love, and telling the truth
I owe my life to you
Oh, oh oh oh oh (Baby)
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, ha
(I love you, yeah) I love you
(I need you)
