I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 

When you're laying so close to me
There's no place I'd rather you be than with me

I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 

Do it to me again and again
You put me in such a awful spin, in a spin

I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby

Lay your head down real close to me
Soothe my mind and set me free, set me free

Uh, love to love you baby
Uh, love to love you baby 
Uh, love to love you baby
Uh, love to love you baby
Uh, love to love you baby
Uh, love to love you baby

When you're laying so close to me
There's no place I'd rather you be than with me

I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 

Do it to me again and again
You put me in such a awful spin, in a spin

I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby 
I love to love you baby
