Reviews

• A dynamic love song that is both tender-hearted and gritty at the same time, James emotes powerfully in front of a comparatively simple backing arrangement with some nice guitar work and a muted brass section. A different studio mix might well have produced a quite different record, but as it is, it comes across just perfectly. (from the Complete Goldwax CD by Dave Godin)

Lyrics

hot lips like fire
ever burning mine
eyes just like the moonlight
that forever shines
you are admirable
you're so desirable
what a lovable girl
what a lovable girl

you're loving arms
forever holding me
sweet words of inspiration
you're always inspiring me
you're exciting
you're lips are so inviting
what a lovable girl
what a lovable girl

oh girl how dare I think one thought
what you are 
what you can be
what you mean
what you mean to me
you are one word
you are just one song
without you I know I'd fall

sweet as a flower
that grows in the springtime
you're as tender as a grape
I'm so glad you're hanging on my vine
what a creation
what a sensation
oh,what a lovable girl
what a lovable girl

you're so lovable
you're so kissable, you're missable
you're so resistable
