[Verse 1:]
Let's take our time and concentrate
The mood is right for living
Ooh, I can't wait
I've waited so long
To be with you this special way
Don't be afraid
Afraid to stay
And share your love with me this way
[Hook:]
I understand, baby
It's your very first time
I'll be gentle with you baby
It's gonna be alright
And so if we're gonna be together tonight
I'll be good to you, baby
Sweet to you lady
Guess what we're gonna be tonight
[Chorus:]
Lovers
Baby, let me be your lover
Lovers
Let me be the only one
Lovers
Baby let me be your lover
Lovers
Let me be the one
[Verse 2:]
Don't let your thoughts
Get in the way
The time is right for love
It's not too late
The feeling's so strong
To be as one this special way
Just take my hand
I'll lead the way
I need you so much
Baby, won't you stay
[Repeat Chorus x3:]
I wanna hold you
I wanna touch you
I wanna squeeze you
I'll never tease you
Hold you tight
All through the night
I'm gonna make you feel alright
Let's take our time and concentrate
The mood is right for living
Ooh, I can't wait
I've waited so long
To be with you this special way
Don't be afraid
Afraid to stay
And share your love with me this way
[Hook:]
I understand, baby
It's your very first time
I'll be gentle with you baby
It's gonna be alright
And so if we're gonna be together tonight
I'll be good to you, baby
Sweet to you lady
Guess what we're gonna be tonight
[Chorus:]
Lovers
Baby, let me be your lover
Lovers
Let me be the only one
Lovers
Baby let me be your lover
Lovers
Let me be the one
[Verse 2:]
Don't let your thoughts
Get in the way
The time is right for love
It's not too late
The feeling's so strong
To be as one this special way
Just take my hand
I'll lead the way
I need you so much
Baby, won't you stay
[Repeat Chorus x3:]
I wanna hold you
I wanna touch you
I wanna squeeze you
I'll never tease you
Hold you tight
All through the night
I'm gonna make you feel alright
