The line up included members Damie, Gayle and Shelia for this album only. The singles from this album are "I Need Your Lovin'" and "I Am Woman." The group went on hiatus after the release of "Satisfy." In early 2012, Sabater, Jackson and Urban reunited and now tour as The Original Cover Girls. Wright is expected to rejoin the line-up as well in 2014. Until 2012, Sabater toured singing Cover Girls songs under the name 'Angel (The Original Cover Girl)'. Sabater has had solo success on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart as Angel Clivillés.

The Cover Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It used to be so sad
I used to be all by myself
It used to be so bad
(Until you)
You came along
And took me by the hand
You came along
And said that you would be my man
Now I'm jumpin' up and down
Spinnin' all around
Because of you babe (babe babe)
I'm as happy as can be
And it's definitely
Because of you babe
Just because of you
I used to go to bed at night
Wishin' I had a friend
Someone to hold and squeeze me tight
A very special friend (friend, friend)
(Until you)
You came along
And told me you would be the one
(Until you)
You came along
And held me in your arms
Now I'm jumpin' up and down
Spinnin' all around
Because of you babe (babe babe)
I'm as happy as can be
And it's definitely
Because of you babe
Now I'm jumpin' up and down
Spinnin' all around
Because of you babe (babe babe)
I'm as happy as can be
And it's definitely
Because of you babe
Just because of you
You, you are a dream come true
And there's nothing in this world

Baby, just for you
(bah, oo woh oh woh)
I used to walk home all alone
It used to be so sad
I used to be all by myself
It used to be so bad

I used to walk home all alone
In the past, I walked home by myself without anyone
It used to be so sad
It was a sorrowful experience
I used to be all by myself
I had no one to accompany me
It used to be so bad
It was a terrible situation
You came along
You appeared in my life
And took me by the hand
You held my hand and took me somewhere
You came along
You arrived in my life
And said that you would be my man
You promised to be my partner
Now I'm jumpin' up and down
I am leaping and bouncing around
Spinnin' all around
I am rotating in all directions
Because of you babe (babe babe)
My current state of excitement is due to you
I'm as happy as can be
I am as joyful as one can be
And it's definitely
This joyful feeling that I'm experiencing is absolutely
I used to go to bed at night
Before now, at night, I slept alone
Wishin' I had a friend
I desired to have a companion in life
Someone to hold and squeeze me tight
Someone to embrace and cuddle me
A very special friend (friend, friend)
An extraordinary companion
You came along
You arrived in my life
And told me you would be the one
You promised to be the one for me
Then held me in your arms
Then you held me close to your body
You, you are a dream come true
You are someone I've been wishing for
And there's nothing in this world
There's nothing that
I wouldn't do
I wouldn't do for you
Baby, just for you
I'd do it all for you, dear
Baby, I love you
Darling, I adore you
I want, I want love
I long and yearn for love
Baby, I want you
Dearest, I desire you
You make my dreams come true
You fulfill my wishes
I'm jumpin'
I am leaping
I'm spinnin'
I am turning around rapidly
Baby, I love you
Honey, I adore you
