In the beginning, when life was simple We were at each other night and day You were so sensual and so inventive We said we'd stick together come what may In the beginning, you were so brutal You turned the heat on in the afternoon Get so excited, get so addicted You had me eating from your golden spoon Now I don't wanna spoil the party I know it goes against the grain As the plane touched down I got movies of you Running through my fevered brain I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up In the beginning, when we were winning I was your ever-present love-sick fool You turned the heat off and left me standing Freezing by your swimming pool I can't give it up I can't give it up I can't give it up I can't give it up Now I don't wanna spoil the party I know it goes against the grain As the plane touched down, and the midnight moon Can't just walk away Really love my sweet thing, wanna' lick it up Really love my sweet thing, wanna' lick it up Really love my sweet thing, can't give it up Really love my sweet thing, can't give it up
