Sometimes i hear you calling out my name,
Sometimes, I can hear you calling out my name from the depths of my mind.
And i hear you deep down inna mi brain,
I hear your voice resonating deep in my mind.
If i coulda be with you just for one night,
If I had the chance to be with you for just one night,
Girl, I know I'd treat you right, right, right.
I would treat you with the utmost respect and love if given the opportunity to be with you.
