Without your sweet inspiration

You know there just ain‘t no tellin‘
What a satisfied woman might do
The way you call me baby , baby
Is such a sweet inspiration
The way you call me darlin‘, darlin‘
Sets my heart to skating
And if I‘m out in the rain, baby
And in a bad situation
You know I just reach back in my mind
And there I find your sweet , sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration
Oh what a power
And I‘ve got the power
Every hour of
