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

Oh baby I feel your love surrounding me
Oh 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
Oh you taste so sweet
Sharing our love between the sheets

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

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

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

Oh baby I feel your love surrounding me
Oh 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
