You remember that time when you met that person and sparks exploded like fireworks on the fourth of July? This song is about that.

Lovely Lady

Hey, Lovely Lady
Won’t you spend the night with me?
Say, hey Lovely Lady
Am I wrong to feel so free?
Well, I’ve been thinking ‘bout us for the longest time
Intoxicating desire warms me like wine
Embraced enchantment through a winter night
And later on, the afterglow, will warm our souls till light
Say, hey Lovely Lady
What’s this trance you have me in?
Say, hey pretty mama
Is this love without an end?
Yes, I’m addicted to the love that you mainline
Intoxicating desire warms me like wine.
I know it’s only love that you deal
And that is why, I’m standing by,
Hoping I can steal, a kiss
From you, Lovely Lady
Hold me close next to your heart,
Say, hey pretty woman
I should have known right from the start.
Dependency was all you had to give
Now I’m begging for the love that you live
Don’t withhold I need you more than you know
Your lovin’ fix, I get my kicks, just hoping you will give
Your love to me, Lovely Lady
Won’t you spend some time with me?
Lovely Lady,
Won’t you spend the night with me?
(Break)
Hey, Lovely Lady
Won’t you spend the night with me?
Say, hey Lovely Lady
Am I wrong to feel so free?
Well, I’ve been thinking ‘bout us for the longest time
Intoxicating desire warms me like wine
Embraced enchantment through a winter night
And later on, the afterglow, will warm our souls till light
Say, hey Lovely Lady
Won’t you spend some time with me?
