Fan the Flame Songtext
von The Temptations

Once a wise man said to me, "This advice I′ll give you free"
A woman is a vanity, 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 praises
So give her them each day
(Give her them each day)
And when she has her emotional crazes
Just give her one tender kiss to make everything okay
(To make everything okay)

Make her feel she's ten feet tall
Even though she's cute and small, tell her she′s your all and all
Fan the flame
Her love is your necessity, let her go and you will see
Just how lonely life can be, you better fan the flame


A woman needs love and affection
And little things mean a lot
(Little things mean a lot)
So let her know you love her, it′s added protection
That's why you got to fan the flame to keep it burning hot
(To keep it burning hot) ooh baby

(Oh, fan the flame)
(Oh, fan the flame)

A woman needs love and affection
And little things mean a lot
(Little things mean a lot)
So let her know you love her, it′s added protection
That's why you got to fan the flame to keep it burning hot
(Oh, keep it burning hot) ooh baby

Once a wise man said to me, "This advice I′ll give you free"
A woman is a vanity, so fan the flame, listen fellas
Always keep her hopes up high, make her laugh, don't make her cry
And don′t let her love die, please fan the flame
Make her feel she's ten feet tall
Even though she's cute and small, tell her she′s your all and all
Fan the flame
