Ecstasy
Long night
Long moonlight

Under the moon, baby
Just you and me, baby
I′ll treat you good, baby
Yes, the snow is all gone
And summer's here

Summer heat, summer rain
Summer love is here again
I call my girl, we take a ride
Cruise the strip, Sunset and Vine
The top is down, the wind in her hair
She looks so good, I can't help but stare
We park the car where no one can see
And by the look in her eyes
It's so clear to me
It′s gonna be a long hot summer night
We′ll make love under the moonlight
Long hot summer night together, yeah
Time has come to celebrate (celebrate)
To share our love in a special way
I'll touch yours, you′ll touch mine
Two hearts together, let's not waste time, baby
The radio plays our favorite song
Passion takes over as we sing along
Don′t hold back, give yourself to me
And we'll spend the night in pure ecstasy
It′s gonna be a long hot summer night
When we're making love under the moonlight
Under the moon baby
It's you and me baby
I′ll treat you good baby
The way you want me to ooh...
Hot summer night
Under the moonlight
Hot summer night
Take it off

The radio plays our favorite song
Passion takes over as we sing along
