Nice and soft
I like your bodytalk
I like your bodytalk
I like your bodytalk
The base is pumping
My heart is jumping
And feel your body heat
Can you do deliver
You make me shiver
I wanna touch you
And feel you body heat
I feel you
You feel me
Let the groove set us free
[CHORUS]
That's the way I like it
I really want it
That's the way I like it
I like the way you walk
That's the way I like it
I really want it
That's the way I like it
I like your body talk
You've got it coming
Cause I've been longing
I wanna kiss you
And feel your body heat
You got me shining
Now I'm re lying
I wanna touch you
And feel your body heat
I feel you
You feel me
Let the groove set us free
[CHORUS]
Nice and soft (6x)
I like your body talk (3x)
I feel you
You feel me
Let the groove set us free
[CHORUS] 2x
Nice and soft (4x)
