Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I promise that you are the only one for me out of every single woman in the world, yes you are
And it's so much joy in the things that you do, how you do, when you do those things you do to me
Let us lay down baby and imitate the lifestyles of the birds and bees, mmhm
Cuz when I look at you heaven is all I see
Baby you bring me joy
Chorus
You bring me joy, night and day
Girl you and me should get away
I've got this special hideaway
Where you and me can be alone (lovin' ya body all night long)
You bring me joy, night and day
Girl you and me should get away
I've got this special hideaway
Where you and me can be alone
Ooh baby this love makin' is so good I just don't know what to do with myself, mm
And I'm sittin here thinkin' God cuz girl he could've place you with somebody else, uh
The way you walk, the way you dress, your smile, your grace, your sex
Girl, tonight nothing's gonna come between us but sweat
Heaven must have sent your love to me
Cuz when I look at you heaven is all I see
You bring me joy
Chorus
Baby now that I've got you here with me, I just wanna break it down
and tell you, what I wanna do, to you
Like a mountain, woo I'm gonna climb up all on top of you girl
Like a see-saw, I'm gonna be going up and down on you girl
and like a horsie, ooh I'm gonna saddle up and ride you girl
Like the river, ooh ooh ooh ooh hoh I can't wait to see us flowin'
As our bodies shivers, oooh
Heaven must have sent your love to me
Cuz when I look at you heaven is all I see

Where you and me can be alone
You bring me joy, night and day
Girl you and me should get away
