Sweet Inspiration


Lyrics and Music by Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham

I need your sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind
Every hour of the day
Without your sweet inspiration
The lonely hours of the night
Just don't go my way

A woman in love
Needs sweet inspiration
Yeah, and honey that's all I ask, that's all I ask from you
I've gotta have your sweet inspiration
You know there just ain't no tellin' what a satisfied woman might do

The way you call me baby, baby
Is such a sweet inspiration
The way you call me darlin', darlin'
Sets my heart to skating
And if I'm out in the rain, baby
And in a bad situation
You know I just reach back in my mind
And there I find your sweet, sweet inspiration

Sweet inspiration
Oh, what a power
And I've got the power
Every hour of the day
I need your inspiration
To go on, to go on living
To keep on giving this way

I need your sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration, sweet inspiration, sweet inspiration
Sweet, sweet inspiration
Sweet, sweet inspiration
I need, sweet inspiration
