Joe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open up please baby, let me in
I want to get inside of you, baby once again
I'll drive you crazy with both my hands
Your every wish, I promise, is my command
Make you all over till I make you scream
Make you feel like you're in fun land
I'll make believe
I'll take real nasty, baby in your ear

Make you moan and groan
I'll even make you shed a tear

Girl, I can do alright, right?
I'll make love to you all through the night
Girl, I can do alright, right?
I'll make love to you all through the night

Been all over, now lay down flat
Turn on your side, now on your back
Don't get tired, baby, there is more to come
I'll tell you baby, that I am the one
Settle baby, right down to my knees
Send me to the world of ecstasy
Slow it down, don't go so fast
We've got all night, let's make it last

Hey baby
I have lots of love to give
I'll make you happy
I'm so exciting

Let me come inside
I want to bring you joy

As the song progresses, the lyrics become even more explicit, with the singer urging his partner not to get tired because there's "more to come."
