[Intro: Mike]
It's gettin' kinda dark already, should I light 'em?

[Verse 1: Nathan & Shawn]
Hey baby I'm ready, I'm oh so ready
I wanna make love to you, hey
Take 'em off, throw 'em down
Come here and let me feel what's in front of me
The outside world is of no concern
Just let our bodies and the candles in the room burn
With a feverish passion uncontained

[Chorus: All]
Feels like one of those nights
Lady, I'm in need of love in a hurry
50 candles burn bright
And all is alright, as our bodies unite
Take our time, do it right

[Verse 2: Wanya & Shawn]
Give me your hand touch me right here
Oh so good want it more and more
Each moment yours fingers linger all around
As I kiss you in the place where your composure comes undone
And your mind runs
We'll make love 'til the sun completely rises
Come play with me
Let me be the toy
That fulfills your needs
'Cause I'm yours tonight and you're all mine, roll with me
Don't be afraid let the feeling take you away
To a world of ecstasy
Where all you got to do is be free and give your all and all

[Chorus: All]
Feels like one of those nights
Lady, I'm in need of love in, in a hurry
50 candles burn bright
And all is right, as our bodies unite
Take our time, do it right

[Verse 3: Mike]
Come and get this, waited all my life for your touch and soft kiss
And life will never be the same, while ya moan and groan
I hear your voice call my name
Holding your body like a plastic molding
Your soul I'll be controlling
As the candles burn, we toss and we turn
From night to day, all our pleasures we learn
Come and play with me, (play with me) tonight's our night baby
50 candles burn bright
Come and roll with me
Make love to me
Hold on tight
It's going to be a bumpy ride

[Chorus: All]
Feels like one of those nights
Lady, I'm in need of love in a hurry
50 candles burn bright
And all is right, as our bodies unite
Take our time, do it right

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
