Babe, you're getting closer The lights are goin' dim The sound of your breathin' Has made the mood I'm in All of my resistance Is lying on the floor Taking me to places I've never been before And I can feel it, feel it Feel it, feel it Way down where the music plays Way down like a tidal wave Way down where the fires blaze Way down, down, way, way on down Ooh, my head is spinnin' You got me in your spell A hundred magic fingers On a whirling carousel The medicine within me No doctor could prescribe Your love is doing something That I just can't describe And I can feel it, feel it Feel it, feel it Way down where the music plays Way down like a tidal wave Way down where the fires blaze Way down Hold me again, tight as you can I need you so, baby, let's go Way down where it feels so good Way down where I hoped it would Way down where I never could Way down Way down where the music plays Way down like a tidal wave Way down where the fires blaze Way down, down, down
