'Cause Gloving you's my Cfavorite kind of Gweather
Oh, fEmorever let the Dflame burn down in Gme
And I'll Emnot prepare my heart for the change of Cseason
And I'll Gwhip old Winter Wind there if she Dblows, if she D7blows
Well god Gbless the day that Cyou came along
And you Gtipped my appleEmcart and you made me
GHotter than MoDjave in my Gheart
