Happiness is when I, I think of you, and we'll be gettin' together for a rendez-vous, I'll be on time, you bring the wine, and when we lock the door, you'll be all mine... Alone in my room, thoughts of you in my head as I wait... The time is soon, you'll arrive, together then, we'll escape into the night on wings of love, and do the things that we onced dreamed of... All aboard a luxury, a first class ticket to ecstasy... It won't stop! It don't stop! A non-stop secret rendez-vous! It won't stop! It don't stop! A non-stop secret rendez-vous! Hey, hey, hey! Oh, oh, oh!! From a penthouse view, we'll make love, drink champagne by the candlelight... I'm so glad I'm in your arms, baby I am yours tonight! To be with you is all I need, so lock the door and throw away the key! No one will disturb this groove, we could not stop it if we wanted to!!! It won't stop! It don't stop! A non-stop secret rendez-vous! It won't stop! It don't stop! A non-stop secret rendez-vous! Hey, hey, hey! Oh, oh, oh! Secret rendez-vous! Happiness is when I, I think of you, and we'll be gettin' together for a rendez-vous... I'll be on time, you bring the wine, and when we lock the door, you'll be all mine... I want you! Do you want me? We're gon' lock the door, throw away the key, ecstasy, yeah!! (It won't stop!) No, (It don't stop!) Baby! (A non-stop secret rendez-vous!) (It won't stop! It don't stop!) I just want to be with you... (A non-stop secret rendez-vous!) (Oh-oo-oh! Oh-oh-oo-oh! Oh-oo-oh!! Secret rendez-vous!) I want to rendez-vous by the candlelight, I want to hug and squeeze you through the night... So lock the door, throw away the key, ecstasy!! I can't let no one disturb this groove, I couldn't stop it if I wanted to, it's you for me, and me for you in a secret rendez-vous!!
