Lyrics
I know we shouldn’t be here together doin’ the things we doBut I can’t help the way I feel I’ve just got to be with youWhen our bodies touch each other there’s a feeling I can’t fightAnd you take me to heaven every nightYou smile and whisper I want you and we’re makin’ love againBy the way we call each other and it seems we’re more than friendsI tremble while we’re lovin’ oh Lord I hold on tightAnd you take me to heaven every nightIt’s so easy to see while you’re lovin’ me you’re turnin’ up to blameI won’t another man touch me I know it wouldn’t be the sameSo baby lock the door walk to the bed and then turbn out the lightAnd take me to heaven again tonight[ steel ]Oh take me to heaven again tonight
