Come on my friend 
And leave your caution to the wind 
I know we use to keep that feeling out of sight 
It's getting stronger 
I feel it burning in my mind 
Slowly teasing me it's growing deep inside 

Come on and lay your tender lips down on my skin 
Show me how sweet and easy it can be... 
Let us stick together 
And make it happen... 

I won't think it over again 
I'll take you to the top 
Tell of your hidden thoughts 
Come on let me move you again 
I'll do the best I can 
Make me tremble with your breath 

Come on my friend 
And leave your caution way behind 
I want to love your body till the morning light 
Watch me my friend 

I feel you reachin' in my mind 
Though I know we'll be in love just for one night 
I keep on trying to change my point of view again 
But everything seems to be the same 

I want you where you are now 
I don't want to lose you
