Lyrics:
Wo! I feel good, I knew that I would, now
I feel good, I knew that I would, now
So good, so good, I got you
Wo! I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you
[Sax, two licks to bridge]
When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love won’t do you no harm
and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you
[Sax, two licks to bridge]
When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can’t do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love can’t do me no harm
and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, well I got you
Wo! I feel good, I knew that I would, now
I feel good, I knew that I would
So good, so good, ’cause I got you
So good, so good, ’cause I got you
So good, so good, ’cause I got you
[End lick]
[Short pause, drum cue]
Hey! Oh yeah-a…
