I don't want to play the waiting game And drift away leavin' an illusion I don't want to hide, It's foolish pride To close my eyes a touch away from wantin' you Don't try to look away when you're face to face I see your eyes that animal emotion You don't have to set your tender trap It's in those eyes, it's gonna happen anyway (BRIDGE:) Movin' to the rhythm of your heartbeat I'm wantin', willin', touchin' you, we'll be Movin' to the rhythm of your heartbeat Ooh babe, when you get that rhythm Gonna move into your room (CHORUS:) Tonight - Gimme love with no disguise Tonight - I see the fire in your eyes Tonight - So right this night could be dynamite Wait 'n' see, if it pleases you it pleases me There's nothing I can say, it's no mystery It's in your eyes, those eyes are where I wanted them So give me heart 'n' soul, I lose control Can't stop my eyes from fallin' into fantasy (repeat BRIDGE & CHORUS) Tonight - Gimme love with no disguise Tonight - I see the fire in your eyes Tonight - I want to win the greatest prize Tonight - So right this night could be dynamite Wait 'n' see, if it pleases you it pleases me
