Once a wiseman said to me
This advice I give you free
A woman is made of fantasy so fan the flame
Always keep her hopes up high
Make her laugh don't make her cry and don't let her love die, so fan the flame
A woman needs love and affection and little things mean alot (little things mean alot)
And when she has an emotional baby
That's why you got to fan the flame to keep it burning hot
Make her feel she ten feet tall, even though she short and small
So fan the flame
Her love is your reality let her go and you will see just how lonely life can be
So fan the falme
A woman needs love and praising so give her them each day
Tell her you love her, its added protection
That's why you got to fan the falme to keep it burning hot
