White Karyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me in your arms caress me gently oh I can't get enough
Thrill me say the word I will surrender to your poetic charms
When the night falls I hear seductive voices
sing romantic songs of love let's get intimate

Turn the lights down it's time to get romantic
You and me romantic now.
Light a candle it's time to get romantic
the night has just begun oh baby we're gonna make it

Kiss me I feel waves of steamy passion I'm burning with desire
Free me from the heat my heart's on fire 'cause
I still need your love under the moonlight with stars shining so bright
baby my mind is on love when we get home tonight

Turn the lights down it's time to get romantic




You and me romantic now.
Light a candle it's time to get romantic

Ooh
Baby, baby, baby
I wanna get romantic
Oh

Turn the lights down
It's time to get romantic
Light a candle
It's time to get romantic
Let's be romantic

Take me in your arms, caress me gently
Oh, I can't get enough, ooh
Thrill me, say the word, I will surrender
To your poetic charm, oh

'Cause when the night falls
I hear seductive voices sing
Romantic songs of love
Let's get intimate

Turn the lights down
It's time to get romantic
(Do everything romantic now)
Light a candle
It's time to get romantic
(The night has just begun, so baby, let's be romantic)

Kiss me, I feel the waves of steamy passion
I'm burnin' with desire
Baby, free me from the heat, my heart's on fire
'Cause I still need your love

Under the moonlight
With the stars shining so bright
Baby, my mind is on love
When we get home tonight, ooh

Turn the lights down (Oh, baby)
It's time to get romantic
(Do everything romantic please)
Light a candle
It's time to get romantic
(I wanna get, I wanna get, ooh, romantic)

Turn the lights down (Turn the lights down low)
It's time to get romantic

Light a candle
It's time to get romantic
(Just into me romantically, yeah)

Just keep tellin' me, oh, baby
Sweet ecstasy, oh, yeah
Whenever we're all alone and I got this burnin' flame that's in my heart
'Cause I don't ever wanna stop

Baby
Oh, yeah
Romantic

If you want romance
You got to work it every change you get
If you want romance
You got to work it, that's right

Oh, I-I-I-I
I wanna get romantic

Let's get romantic (Ooh), now let's fall in love (Let's get romantic)
Make me surrender to your tender touch (Your tender touch)
Do you remember I can't get enough (Ooh... ooh... baby)
Love me, let's be romantic

Hey, you're lookin' so, so tender
It's time to get romantic
Just say the word I will surrender
Let's be romantic

All I need to say what would you like
It's time to get romantic
I'll give you my love, love, love, love, love
Let's be romantic (Oh, baby)

Turn the lights down (Turn the lights down low)
It's time to get romantic
(Do everything romantic now)
Light a candle
It's time to get romantic

I think the bass line in this song is great. This is the kind of performance that expresses euphoria in sound.

What a leadoff song for the Ritual of Love album. Love Karyn's vocals in this song. Man, I really appreciate the backing vocalists (Darron Story and Andre Shepard) in this song. And of course, I love the musical instrumentation used in this jam by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

Daniel Burns

this song went to #1 on the pop charts in 1991!!!

Rick Crawford
