I need your sweet inspiration.
I need you here on my mind every hour of the day.
Without your sweet, sweet inspiration,
the lonely hours of the night just don't go my way.

A man in love needs sweet inspiration.
And honey that's all I ask,
that's all I ask from you.
I gotta have sweet inspiration,
you know there just ain't no telling
what a satisfied man will do.

And if I'm out in the rain, baby,
and in a bad situation.
I just reach back in my mind to find
sweet, sweet inspiration.

Sweet, oh, what a power.
And I got the power every hour of the day.
I've gotta have your sweet inspiration,
to go on living, to keep on giving this way.

sweet, sweet inspiration
sweet, sweet inspiration
sweet, sweet inspiration
sweet, sweet inspiration (repeat to ride)
