Morning, afternoon, and night
We lay together side by side
Searchin' for lust
Searchin' for breath
Searchin' for the touch of life

No words are spoken
The only sound we hear
Is body talk, body talk

The heat of passion is such
A beautiful thing as it overflows
Pleasure grows all the dreams it can bring
Ooh, your lips in my eyes and gentle sighs
With body talk, body talk

Cool and kind, so soft and pure, a touching moment
Heated feelings once explode, but have melted
We were two souls torn apart with bitter ages
Through expression not aggression, we have become one

Body talk, body talk

Cool and kind, so soft and pure, a touching moment
Heated feelings once explode, but have melted
We are two souls torn apart with bitter ages
Through expression not aggression, we have become one

Searchin' for lust
Searchin' for breath
Searchin' for the touch of life

No words are spoken
The only sound we hear
Is body talk, body talk, body talk, body talk, body talk

Baa dee daa dee baa ree ree daa
(Body talk) Ooh Now sugar
(Body talk) Aah aah aah
(Body talk) Oh ah
(Body talk) Baa dee dee daa
(Body talk) Ooh body to body
