Then I want it (then I want it)
We should get it (we should get it)
You want my moves (you want my moves)
Deep in your womb (deep in your womb)
Let's play hide my friend (let's play hide my friend)
In your bedroom
I want you to say
How much you can take (what you want from me)
Dim the lights baby
I want you this way
How much can you take
What I want from you
You want my lips (you want my lips)
On you (on you)
I want your hips (I want your hips)
On me (on me)
We want this feeling to last
Last always (last always)

How much you can take (what you want from me)
Dim the lights baby
I want you this way
How much can you take
What I want from you

The anticipation of that first move. Not knowing or understanding the true meaning of the word desire, but hearing this song blaring from the speakers in that tricked out bedroom, damn. My heart pounding w every beat, my skin is tingling because of the excitement. You dim those lights after a long conversation about respect an expectations over a glass of merlot. We get closer on that mahogany leather couch, your hands exploring me, discovering zones that are permitted for your every pleasure. I the same searching that land of extreme erotism. Eventually we are intertwined as one. This song came right on time this very moment. The heavy breathing, the naughty things you're saying in my ear, the scent of your body has me flushed..... I seen heaven that night, yessir!!!!! Dim those lights baby!!!!
