What do the neighbors say When they hear us scream at night Do they talk about a love all in tatters What do the neighbors know About the heart and soul The fire down below that really matters They can never guess in the silences That all I want is you And the sexy hurricane we got here, oh, babe All I want is you I don't want a man who says "Good morning, dear", no, I don't (All I want is you, all that I want is you) (All I want is you, nobody else, no one but you) Let 'em listen at the door Let 'em listen through the floor Let 'em go ahead and draw the wrong conclusion So chase me 'round the room Make me crazy like the moon They can never guess in the silences And all I want is you And the sexy hurricane that we share (We share, yeah) All I want is you I don't want a man who tiptoes up the stairs, no, I don't (All I want is you, all that I want is you) (All I want is you, nobody else, no one but you) They can never guess in the silences That all I want is you (All I want is you) And the sexy hurricane that we share, oh uh oh All I want is you I don't want a man who tiptoes up the stairs (He's gonna fall) All I want is you And your freight train Whistlin' over my track, oh uh oh All I want is you And your Mack truck loving Jumping me, Jack Oh uh oh, Jack (All that I want)
