Hey hey honey when I'm without you 
I get a chill up and down my spine 
And I, I feel so hot and the pain won't stop 
Tearing at this heart of mine 
And I wouldn't have it, I know I can say 
And I wouldn't have it any other way 

Do you like to make love with me or turn it around? 
Do you like the way it feels when I hold you tight? 
Do you like the way I say I'm coming on home? 
I'd get you when I want you then you're on your own 

Out of mind out of sight 
Gotta keep my body tight 
Out of mind out of sight 
I'm gonna keep my body tight 

Looking a little bit closer now 
I've got something to say to you 
And if your body touches me, I just don't know what I might do 
And so hold me honey, hit on the bed 
I got notions in my head 

Out of mind out of sight 
Gotta keep my body tight 
Out of mind out of sight 
I'm gonna keep my body tight 

Hey hey honey when I'm without you 
I get a chill up and down my spine 
And I, I feel so hot and the pain won't stop 
Tearing at this heart of mine 
And I wouldn't have it, I know I can say 
And I wouldn't have it any other way 

Do you like to make love with me or turn it around? 
Do you like the way it feels when I hold you tight? 
Do you like the way I say I'm coming on home? 
I'd take you when I want you then you're on your own 

Out of mind out of sight 
Gotta keep my body tight 
Out of mind out of sight 
Gotta keep my body tight 
Out of mind out of sight 
Gotta keep my body tight 
Out of mind out of sight 
Gotta keep my body tight
