I need your body I got to have your body You whisper my name and I feel my heart Beat like it's never gonna stop I lose all self control and feel it start Your love takes me right to the top And the wind cries out Out your name to me And I feel no shame Feeling this way I need your body I got to have your body Close to me Such a temptation A burning new sensation's Flowing through me I want you close to me You make me feel like we're the only ones Who've ever been in love before These feelings burn inside me night and day You keep me reaching out for more And the wind cries out Out your name to me And I feel no shame Feeling this way I need your body I got to have your body Close to me Such a temptation A burning new sensation Flowing through me I need you close to me And the wind, cries out Out your name, to me And I feel, no shame Feeling this way I need your body
