A letra:

Stir it up
Little darlin', stir it up (come on, baby)
Come on and stir it up (ooh)
Little darlin', stir it up (oh)

It's been a long, long time, yeah (stir it, stir it, stir it together)
Since I've got you on my mind (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh-oh
Now you are here (stir it, stir it, stir it together)
I said, it's so clear
To see what we will do, baby (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Just me and you

Come on and stir it up (I wanna say)
Little darlin', stir it up (come on, baby)
Come on and stir it up (yeah)
Little darlin', stir it up (oh, mmm)

hum, I'll push the wood (stir it, stir it, stir it together)
Then I'll blaze your fire
Then I satisfy your heart's desire
Said, I stir it every (stir it, stir it, stir it together), every minute
All you've got to do, baby (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Is keep it in it, and

Stir it up (come on)
Little darlin', stir it up
Come on and stir it up (oh-oh)
Little darlin', stir it up (oh, mmm)

I know... Quench me when I'm thirsty
Come on, cool me down, baby (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
When I'm hot (stir it, stir it, stir it together)
Your recipe, darlin', is so tasty
And you sure can stir your pot, so

Stir it up (oh)
Little darlin', stir it up (come on girl)
Come on and stir it up (oh, I)
Little darlin', stir it up (stir it)

Oh, little darlin', stir it up (come on, baby)
Come on and stir it up (oh, I)
Little darlin', stir it up (stir it, baby, stir it)
Come on, come on and stir it up (oh)
Little darlin', stir it up (stir it, stir it, stir it, stir it)
