I like the way your sparkling earrings lay Against your skin, it's so brown And I want to sleep with you In the desert tonight With a billion stars all around 'Cause I gotta peaceful easy feeling And I know you won't let me down 'Cause I'm already standing on the Ground And I found out a long time ago What a woman can do to your soul Ah, but she can't take you anyway You don't already know how to go And I gotta peaceful, easy feeling And I know you won't let me down 'Cause I'm already standing on the ground I get this feeling I may know you As a lover and a friend But this voice keeps whispering In my other ear, tells me I may never see you again 'Cause I get a peaceful, easy feeling And I know you won't let me down 'Cause I'm already standing on the ground 'Cause I'm already standing On the ground
