Glam Slam, thank you, ma'am
I pray you'll always stay
[Verse 2]
I know I hold you too tight
(Too tight)

(I want to hold you)

You really make my day
Glam Slam, thank you, ma'am
I pray you'll always stay
[Verse 3]

It seems to transcend the physical
One touch and I'm satisfied
Must be a dream, it's so magical
[Chorus]
Glam Slam, thank you, ma'am
You really make my day
Glam Slam, thank you, ma'am
I pray you'll always stay
[Outro]
Glam Slam
You will always stay
You will always stay
It's all right, it's okay
