And pull your window curtain
Oh, let Jah moon come shining in
Into our life again ('gain)
Sayin', "Ooh, it's been a long, long time" (long, long, long, long time)
I got this message for you, girl
But it seems I was never on time
Still I wanna get through to you, girly
I want to give you some love (good, good lovin')
I want to give you some good, good lovin' (good, good lovin')
Oh I, oh I, oh I
Say, I want to give you some good, good lovin' (good, good lovin')
Turn your lights down low
Never try to resist, oh no
Oh, let my love come tumblin' in
Into our lives again
Sayin' ooh, I love you
And I want you to know right now
Ooh, I love you
And I want you to know right now
'Cause I, that I
I want to give you some love (oh)
I want to give you some good, good lovin'
Oh I
I want to give you some love
Say, I want to give you some good, good lovin'
Turn your lights down low, oh
Never, never try to resist, oh no
Ooh, let my love, ooh let my love come tumblin' in (I want to give you some love)
Into our lives again (I want to give you some good, good lovin')
Oh, I want to give you some love
