O girl any moment
I may kiss your lips
O it's been a while
Since I felt like this
O girl please don't refuse me
O I'm so scared you will

O what a thrill
O what a thrill
Stars in the sky
Stars stand still
O what a thrill

Woman words fail me
Your skin is sweet and warm
I want to console you
And hold you in my arms
O once you were my baby
You're my baby still

O what a thrill
O what a thrill
Stars in the sky
Stars stand still
O what a thrill
