Fan The Flame - Edwin Starr

Once a wise man said to me

This advice I’ll give you free

A woman lives on vanity

So fan the flame (Fan the flame)

Mhm (Fan the flame)

Always keep her hopes up high

Make her laugh, don’t make her cry

Don’t let her lovin' die

Fan the flame (Fan the flame)

Oh (Fan the flame)

He said a woman needs love and purses

You’ve got got to give her a little each day

So when she has her emotional phases

You just to got to give her a tender kiss

And make everything okay

(If you want her to love you, this is what you’ve gotta do)

Fan the, fan the, fan the flame

Fan the, fan the, fan the flame

(Tenderness is all you need, satisfaction guaranteed)

Fan the, fan the, fan the flame

Fan the, fan the, fan the flame

Make her feel she’s ten feet tall

Even though she’s cute and small

Tell her she’s your all in all

And fan the flame (Fan the flame)

Mhm, mmm (Fan the flame)

Her love is your necessity

Let her go and you will see

Just how lonely man can be

Fan the flame (Fan the flame)

Oh, oh, oh (Fan the flame)

A woman needs, love and affection

And those little things, they mean a lot

To let her know that you love her is added protection

That’s why you got to fan the flame to keep it burning hot

(If you want her to love you, this is what you’ve gotta do)

Fan the flame, fan the flame

Give her love, give her love, give her love

(And love her good) Love her good

(Love her like you know you should)

She the kind, keep her on your mind all the time

Oh, oh, oh, oh

(If you want her to love you, this is what you’ve gotta do)

Tell her that your love is true, uh-huh-huh

(Fan the flame, fan the flame)

(Tenderness is all you need, satisfaction guaranteed)

Tell her that you need her, too

(Fan the flame, fan the flame)

Tell her, tell her, tell her, tell her

(If you want her to love you, this is what you’ve gotta do)

Hey, hey, hey, hey (Fan the flame)
