Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes baby
It feels so good
Yes
Right there baby
Oh, oh my god
Don't stop, don?t stop baby
Come a little closer
[Chorus]
Come on girl, get a little closer
I want you, you want me
Come on girl, get a little closer
I want you, you want me
Can't control myself
Girl, you look so good
Smell like roses
Like I knew you would
The time has come
We waited oh so long
Let's quench this fire
That's been burning strong
Come on girl, get a little closer
I want you, you want me
Come on girl, get a little closer
I want you, you want me
I need your lovin'
Girl, I need it bad
We'll take things slowly
We won't go fast
Let's let our bodies touch
Our flesh becomes as one
Stroking each other
Until the morning comes
Come on girl, get a little closer
I want you, you want me
Come on girl, get a little closer
I want you, you want me
Girl, you know I want you baby (Yes I do yeah)
I want you tonight, to be right by my side (come on baby)
I can't wait no longer
I gotta have you, right now
[Chorus: x2]
