When I see you on the streetMy whole body gets weakWhen you’re standing in a crowdYour love talks to me so loudGirl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to youWhen I hear you on the phoneYour sweet, sexy voice turns my ear all the way onJust the mention of your nameSeems to drive my head insaneGirl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you babyYes I got some candy kisses for your lipsYes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for youYes I got some candy kisses for your lipsYes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for youMy life has been waiting for your loveMy arms have been waiting for your love to arriveMy heart has been waitingMy soul anticipating your love, love, loveFrom the time that I awakeI’m imagining the good love that we’ll makeIf to me your vibe can do all thisJust imagine how it’s going to feel when we hug and kissSugar, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you all right
