As of 1991, they were an octet featuring four lead singers, Marty Kaniger (also guitar), Tom Lee (also guitar), Bob Wayne, and Don Raymond (also guitar), plus John Hatton (bass), Norman A. Norman (keyboards), Bob Sandman (reeds), and Damon DeGrignon (drums).
Like a Virgin
Big Daddy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you
I was beat, incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Shiny and new
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last
You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat
Next to mine
Wow hoo oh oh ho oh
Wow hoo oh oh ho oh
Aah!
Wow hoo oh oh ho
You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours till the end of time
'Cause you make me feel
Yeah, you make me feel
I've nothin' to hide
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
Like a virgin
Ooh ooh ooh hoo hoo
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me..
And your heart beats
And you love me...
Oh ho ooh oh ho
Oh oh oh ho ho
Oh ho ho
Ooh baby
Yeah
Can't you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?
