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
