Barry White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me a secret
I don't just wanna know about any secret of yours
I wanna know about one special secret
Because tonight I want to learn all about
The secrets in your garden.
(AL B SURE!)
Know your deepest feelings
I wanna make it right for you.
Baby show me,
Let me share the mystery, oh.
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Listen to your heart Tonight
Make it, alright
Come on, come out tonight
(JAMES INGRAM)
I know a melody that we could sing together
I've got the secret key to you
Let's make music, harmonizing ecstasy
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Sing it to me.
CHORUS
Here in the garden
Where temptation feels so right
Passion can make you fall
For what you feel
In the garden, we can make it come alive
Ev'ry night oh, woman
Your secret garden oh oh
Yeah in the garden
(EL DeBARGE)
I need to be with you
Let me lay beside you
Do what you want me to all night
Gonna hold you, ooh baby can I touch you there
Come on, come on, come on, come on
I can keep you satisfied baby
Come on, come on, come on, all night
Oh we oh we baby
Come on, come out tonight
(BARRY WHITE)
I'll take good care of you,
That's what a man's supposed to do.
And I'll be there for you all the time
Let your hair down, let me get you in the mood.
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Take me with you
Into the garden where the temptation feels so right
Passion can make you fall
For what you feel.
In the garden we can make it come a live
Ev'ry night, oh woman
Here in Your secret garden.
(SPOKEN)
You know I've never wanted anyone,
I've never wanted anyone as much as I,
As much as I want you.
I want you to show me,
I want you to tell me how you feel.
All the secrets.
