La da da da It came without warning A love like I ain't never felt before She's like my destiny calling And she's lying there all naked on the floor And suddenly out of blue, she's singing Oh baby, let my loving ease your pain Bring your burning skin to my river once again I'll give you life Ooh baby let my loving ease your pain, tonight She came without warning Like an angel come from Heaven in the night Her kiss makes me tremble So she pulls me close and she holds me oh so tight And suddenly out of the blue she starts singing Oh baby let my loving ease your pain Bring your burning skin to my river once again I'll give you life Ooh baby let my loving ease your pain I'll give you life I'll give you life I'll give you life Oh baby let my loving ease your pain Bring your burning skin to my river once again I'll give you life Oh baby let my loving ease your pain Bring your burning skin to my river Oh to my river La da da da Oh to my river
