Stay away from my window Stay away from my back door too Disconnect the telephone line Relax baby and draw that blind Kick off your shoes and sit right down Loosen off that pretty French gown Let me pour you a good long drink Ooh baby don't you hesitate 'cause Tonight's the night It's gonna be alright 'Cause I love you girl Ain't nobody gonna stop us now Come on angel my heart's on fire Don't deny your man's desire You'd be a fool to stop this tide Spread your wings and let me come inside 'cause Tonight's the night It's gonna be alright 'Cause I love you girl Ain't nobody gonna stop us now Don't say a word my virgin child Just let your inhibitions run wild The secret is about to unfold Upstairs before the night's too old Tonight's the night It's gonna be alright 'Cause I love you girl Ain't nobody gonna stop us now Ooh
