You pulled some tricks out your sleeve last night Everything I fantasize about You had me climbing up a wall How many ways was God called You represented in the fashion of the truly gifted You put it down last night Knocked me out then had me dreaming 'bout waking up, alright Do you want some money baby How about some chicken wings Do you want some fish and grits I'll hurry and go get it Whatever We made a groove last night A poignant rocking forth and back alright Anything I can do for you Just ask sometimes you won't have to I'll be happy just to make you happy And that's true Oh We made powerful Love last night Never knew passion could taste so sweet alright I made a vow to you Everything I do for you is a joy and a gift You got my whole life lifted
