After takin' nearly every shady lady home 
I got an itchy feelin' under my skin 
So I grabbed my rags and packed my bags 
And got back on the road again 
To look for paradise 
I needed sugar and spice 
I really needed a holiday 

My main concern was which direction to turn 
I was lookin' forward to the treat 
There's no parallel, it's stranger than hell 
To pull the rug from under my feet 
I've been lovin' everything in sight 
Still this time I knew the feelin' was right 
'Cause I wanted everyday to be 

A holiday 
When it's in paradise 
Well, love's a holiday 
When it's a-sugar and spice 

It's sweet as a stolen kiss 
It's strange in its own special way 
Love, love, love's a holiday 

Now it don't seem strange that the more I change 
The more the feelin' inspires 
Understanding's what a man protects 
Love's what his poor soul desires 
I've been lovin' everything in sight 
Now this time I know the feeling's right 
'Cause I know that everyday can be 

A holiday 
When you're in paradise 
Well, love's a holiday 
And it's a-sugar and spice 

Well, love's a holiday 
When you're in paradise 
Well, love's a holiday 
When it's a-sugar and spice 
And all things nice
