Body Language
The Dooleys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you move up next to me
I can feel your body heat
So come on now a little closer
Let me feel your body heat

Winter nights are cold and lonely
And the only light I see
Is knowin' that you'll always be here
Warmin' me with body heat

Body language, body language
Body language, feelin' you wantin' me
Body language, body language
Body language, touchin' and wantin' me

Can't you feel the fever risin'
Every time our bodies meet
Touchin' me with love's excitement
Burnin' me with body heat

Gotta hold on close together
Gotta let our love run free




We could make it last forever
Never cool our body heat
