It`s time
I`m sincere. I say what I mean
And I mean just what I say
I`ve never felt like this
Loving so hard, so deep, so quick
Babe look into my eyes
And all I see is you
And if you agree to be with me
No lies, no games, no tricks

I hope you`re felling the way I do
And I hope you nedd it
Needing my love the way I need you

The time is right, right now
Give your love to me
Let me show you how

I`ve always knew darling
It would take a very special lady for me
The first time I saw you
You were everything I wanted
And everything I need

I hope you`re feeling the way I do
And I hope you`re raching
Reach out to me I`m reaching for you

The time is right, right now
Give your love to me
Let me show you how
The time is right, right now




Give it all to me
