I need your sweet, sweet inspiration

I need you here on my mind every hour of the day

Without your sweet, sweet inspiration

The lonely hours of the day just don't go my way.



A woman in love needs sweet inspiration

And honey that's all I ask

You know that's all I ask from you

I gotta have your sweet inspiration, yeah

You know there just ain't no telling

What a satisfied woman might do.



When you call "Baby", baby

Is such a sweet inspiration

And when you call me "Darling", darling

Sets my heart a-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.



Inspiration, yeah, oh, what a power

And I got the power every hour of the day

I need your sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet inspiration, yeah

To go on living, to keep on giving this way.



I need your sweet, sweet inspiration

And I got the power every hour of the day

I need your sweet, sweet inspiration

To go on living, to keep on giving this way.
