Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna kiss and hug you baby
Make you feel like its alright
You got kids up on you
Come here darling give me sugar
Gonna show you what it feels like (lets fly)
Hey baby, come and love me
I need you, right here next to me
We're gonna go away while we're still at home
If we can fly, real high
Then there will be no landin' in sight, yeah
And if I can stay, all day
Got you wrapped up in my arms
Its the one and only place
I'm gonna love you baby
Gonna kiss and hug you baby
Make you feel like its alright
You got lips up on you
Come here darling give me sugar
Gonna show you what it feels like (feels like)
Lets fly!
Maybe its the way you move, yeah
Not noticin', you're stuck up in the groove, aw baby yea
Show us the way you shine
You got silly fools stuck up in the line, for you
Lately I've been wondering
Are you gone and where you been?
Curiosity fills the mind, aye
Lookin' and they listenin'
That shadow I can get you in
Makes me laugh every single time
I'm gonna love you baby
Gonna kiss and hug you baby
Make you feel like its alright
You got lips up on you
Come here darling give me sugar
Gonna show you what it feels like (lets fly)
I'm gonna love you baby
Gonna kiss and hug you baby
Make you feel like its alright
You got lips up on you
Come here darling give me sugar
Gonna show you what it feels like (lets fly)
Let's fly, let's fly
Let's fly, let's fly
Let's fly
Let's fly
Let's fly, let's fly
Let's fly, let's fly
Let's fly
Let's fly
