Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Close the door
Let me give you what you've been waiting for
Baby I got so much love to give
And I wanna give it all... to you...
Close the door
No need to worry no more
Let's bring this day to a pleasant end
Girl it's me... and you now...
I waited all day long
Just to hold you in my arms
And it's exactly like I thought it would be
Me loving you and you loving me...
Close the door
Let me rub your back where you say it's sore

Come on get closer and closer so close to me

Let's get lost in each other
Come here baby
I waited all day long
Just to hold you in my arms
And it's exactly like I thought it would be

Me loving you and you loving me...
Close the door baby
And let me know you're mine
Plenty good lovin' all through the night

And then again and then again when the morning comes
Come here woman
Come here baby
Let me blow your mind

Let me do what I want to you
Let me do what I want to you
Let me make sweet love to you baby, uh

Ooh-ooh baby oh-oh baby so good baby

So good so good so good baby, uh
You'll do it to me
I'll do it to you
Come here baby
Lay you head next to mine

Ooh-ooh oh-oh ooh-ooh oh-oh aah-aah, uh
So good sweet woman
I like the way you make me feel
I like the way you make me feel
So good
So good
So good so good baby, uh

Let me do what I wanna do
All I wanna do is make love to you
Let me do what I wanna do




All I wanna do is make love to you
Let me do-do-do-do-do-do-do, uh

COME HERE, BABY!!!
This man taught a whole generation of men how to be an irresistible Alpha all women secretly desire.

@Sunshine-zm1fx

Referring to strong, intelligent, and sexy men as Alpha will always be a loser move. The minute you use the word "Alpha" here, and are serious about it, well, it's just a huge message to women to stay away from that toxic shyte.

@kyeo77

what you saw in this video doesn't exist in reality

@2GunRock

@@kyeo77 I never even saw the video the first time I heard this song, and Turn Out the Lights, and I felt the same way. Just his tone of voice. Totally in control. When he asks, it sounds more like he demands, and all women are turned on by a man who takes charge that way. I know there was a lot of sexy music before and after TP, but he taught men it's okay, even preferred, to take charge in the bedroom. He taught a generation of men that women fantasize about being dominated.

@SongmanKK

Not really, just be yourself and be strong as a man, and go for a woman you connect and get along with, then see what happens. This Alpha label is rubbish.

@gloriaa.garcia3985

2023 and still listening to Teddy. 100 years from now and people will still be enjoying his music . RIP

@michaelmartin8397

So true

@pinahall4447

Yep because we still listening to it a half of a century later.

@harrymaples3040
