[English]

Feel so good, I feel so fine

Love that little lady, always on my mind

She gives me lovin' every night and day

Never gonna leave her, never going away

Someone to love me

You know she makes me feel alright

...

Someone to need me

Love me every single night

...

Feel so happy since I met that girl

When we're making love it's something out of this world

Feels so good to know that she's all mine

Gonna love that woman 'til the end of time

Someone to live for

Love me 'til the end of time

Makes me feel happy

Good to know that she's all mine

...

Lovely lady

Make love all night long

Ooh, lovely lady

Never do me wrong

Ah, I don't wanna leave you

I never wanna leave you anymore

No more

...

Lovely lady

Mystifying eyes

Lovely lady

She don't tell me no lies

...

I know I'll never leave you

I never gonna leave you anymore

I said no more

I said no more

Ooh, alright, yeah

Alright now, yeah

No more, yeah

I said no more, no more

I said no more, no more

I said no more, ooh yeah

Come on now, baby

Come on now, woman

...
