Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey girl ain't no mystery
At least as far as I can see
I want to keep you here
Laying next to me
Sharing our love between the sheets

Ohhhh baby I feel your love surrounding me
Ohhhh baby making love between the sheets

Oh girl let me hold you tight
And you know I'll make you feel alright
Oh baby girl just cling to me and let your mind be free
While making love between the sheets

Oh girl I love you all night long
And I know you felt it coming on
Oh darling just taste my world
Ohhhh you taste so sweet
Sharing our love between the sheets

Ohhhh baby I feel your love surrounding me
Ohhhh baby making love between the sheets

Hey girl what's your fantasy
I'll take you there to that ecstasy
Ohh girl you blow my mind
I'll always be your freak
Let's make sweet love between the sheets

Ohhhh baby I feel your love surrounding me
Ohhhh baby making love between the sheets

Ohhhh baby I feel your love surrounding me
Ohhhh baby making love between the sheets

I'm not gonna say let's make love
In between the sheets

Oh I like the way you receive me
Girl I love the way you release me
I'm coming coming on strong
In between the sheets

Oh I like the way you receive me
Girl I love the way you release me
I'm coming coming on strong
In between the sheets

You got me moaning
Girl you got me groaning
I'm coming coming on strong
In between the sheets

Let's get all the way down
You're the only one




I'm coming coming coming baby coming on strong
In between the sheets

@@NicoX3000 i don't know what "two points" you are referring to

but it's very simple...my point is ONE

they weren't ahead of their time unless they had a time machine... all of the good music from previous times was from THAT time and it was right on time

neither ahead nor behind; it was just fine because we had incredible genius all over the place in literally EVERY genre of music and thats just facts

dont get me started ... i guess james brown and elton john and paul mcartney and marvin gaye and prince and nile rogers projects (chic and sister sledge) and genesis and the police and (of course ) p-funk et al were ALL ahead of their time?

this was ALL genius level stuff because they ALL were unique and innovative so to me thats cheap when someone says "they were ahead of their time" ...whats that supposed to mean exactly? thats all i'm saying; they were right on time and it was a beautiful thing

Special thanks to Chris Jasper,
a former member of
Isley Brothers(1973-1983),
who created this iconic beat
and the beat to “Footsteps In The Dark”.

The most sampled beats in hip hop and R&B music.

We need to talk about
Chris Jasper’s contributions more.
