Sugar and Spice (I Found Me a Girl) Lyrics

[Chorus]
Sugar and spice
Righter than right
Never had a feeling so nice, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl
Sweeter than sweet
That's how I feel
Never had a feeling so real, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl

[Verse 1]
I told my baby that I had to get away
And that I'd be back another day
She didn't even ask me where I had to go
She said she didn't need to know, ooh, ooh
Just said she'd miss me every minute of the time
She wrote me that on a valentine
That's how I know that I can't stay away too long
'Cause I'm gonna get myself back home to my

[Chorus]
Sugar and spice (We've got a)
Righter than right (Love affair), said yeah, yeah
Never had a feeling so nice, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl
Sweeter than sweet (Ooh, sugar)
That's how I feel (Every day), say hey, hey, hey
Never had a feeling so real, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl
[Verse 2]
I can't think of anything that I would ever miss
More than her sweet and tender kiss
She's got something that I just can't seem to resist
And that's why I've got to tell you this, listen here
I've heard some talk there's gon' be a hurricane
Big heavy winds and lots of rain, it's gonna carry on
And that's why I'm hopin' that it's not gon' take too long
'Cause I'm gonna ride that wind back home
To my

[Chorus]
Sugar and spice (We've got a)
Righter than right (Love affair), I say yeah, yeah
Never had a feeling so nice, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl
Sweeter than sweet (Ooh, sugar)
That's how I feel (Every day), I said hey, hey, hey
Never had a feeling so real, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl

[Bridge]
I never knew I could feel like I do
I'm in Heaven, you see
If you need me you know where I'm gonna be
Look out now
And everyday I thank my lucky stars
And all Heaven above
I'm at last and forever in love
She's my girl

She's mine all mine
(Gotta tell the world I found a girl)
I gotta take my time
(I found a girl)

And let everybody know
(Gotta tell the world I found a girl)
I mean tell the world
I found me a girl

Said she's mine all mine
(Gotta tell the world I found a girl)
I gotta take my time
(I found a girl)
Let everybody know
(Gotta tell the world I found a girl)
Said I mean tell the world
I found me a girl

[Chorus]
Sugar and spice (We've got a)
Uh uh uh
Righter than right (Love affair), I say yeah, yeah
Never had a feeling so nice, no, girl
I wanna tell the world
I found me a girl
Sweeter than sweet (Ooh, sugar)
That's how I feel (Every day), I said hey, hey, hey
Never had a feeling so real
