Here We Go] (M. Riperton- R. Rudolph- A. Phillips)
It′s a lazy afternoon
Just a kind of a day made for lovin' you
Soon the evening breezes will start to blow
Baby, grab your hat now ′cause here we go
Ooh, I love the things you do
And the way that I feel when I'm close to you
I have dreamed so long, is it really so?

Baby, grab your hat now 'cause here we go
Off to wonderland... floating hand in hand
Like in the movies everyone can tell that I′m in love with you
I never knew what love could do
My heart begins to pound whenever you′re around I'm never coming down
Ohhh Noooo
It′s a quarter after two
And there's no one around except me and you
Well it′s times like this that I'm living for
Shall we turn the lights down and lock the door
Baby don′t stop... don't you dare no
Just a little bit more we're almost there

Any second now I′ll explode
Baby, grab your hat now ′cause here we go
