James and the Wild Spirit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never know how much I care
But when you put your arms around me
I get a feeling that is hard to value
You give me a fever
When you kiss me
Fever, when you hold me tight
And a fever all through the night
Sun lights up my daytime
Moon lights up the night
My eyes light up
When you call my name
I know you're gonna treat me right
You give me a fever
When you kiss me
Fever, when you hold me tight
Fever,in the morning babe
I get the temperature all trough the night
Bless my soul I love you
Take this heart away
And take these arms that I'd never use
Just leave me what my limbs has to say
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever, when you hold me tight
Fever,in the morning babe
And a fever all through the night
Mhm yeah mhm
Start the bowl rolling
Was rolling like a tumbleweed
It never stopped rolling
Till it wrecked my heart
It knew where I wanted it to be
No body but you, babe
No body but you, girl
No body but you, babe
Your my sugar, cause you're choking sweet
Put the bread on the table
Put the salt on tha' bread
She made my life worth living
And I believe every word I say
Nobody but you, babe
Nobody but you, girl
Nobody but you, babe
Your my sugar, cause you're choking sweet
Mhm (yeah) mhm
(Let me hear ya'out one more time)(that's alrighty)
Shot my booty,shot my booty,shot my booty
Mhm (yeah) mhm
