[Verse 1: Common]
Let's do it now, it's me and you
Close my eyes, Erotica, I'm seein' you
Listen to me wishin' I could be with you
To share my love and ecstasy with you
Are you alone? Is your shorty sleep?
Hold on, that's okay, ignore the beep
For you my love is immortal deep
You are my queen, but I can't ignore the freak
Let's let our bodies talk and our auras speak
Hold on, gotta get the toiletries
As our waters reach distances unheard of
I'm in the room nestled sweet and I reserve love
Only for you, I ask God to show me the truth
What He showed me was you
Wherever I go, my soul leads to you
Days gone, nights lonely for you

[Chorus: Bilal & Prince]
Erotica, wet dreaming on my mind
Erotica, can I come in your mind?
Erotica, "P.S., with love", I sign
Erotica, wish on star 69
Erotica, wish on star 69
Erotica-ca-ca, wish on star 69
Erotica-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca

[Verse 2: Common]
So much I wish you were here with me now
My bad, I just hit redial
I want you to come and never leave now
Is your mind and your right hand free now?
Our love, reach deep down inside of it
As the candle burns, when desire's lit
Makin' love knows no distance or environment
When we (Ahh) I feel the most high in it
I feel you touchin' me and I begin to rise from it
Your love is stuck in me, our minds are so alive and thick
Picture my hands on your waist as I stare in your face
Your mouth half open, your love I can taste
Embracin' you, life I let go
Gotta switch phones 'cause this one is ghetto
Another level of love we create when we take it to
And when it's made, Erotica, it's made for you

[Chorus: Prince & Bilal]
Erotica, wet dreaming on my mind
Erotica, can I come in your mind?
Erotica, "P.S., with love", I sign
Erotica, wish on star 69
Erotica, wish on star 69
Erotica-ca-ca, wish on star 69
Erotica-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca

[Bridge: Bilal & Prince]
Slave to your loneliness (Slave to your loneliness)
Inside of loneliness (Inside this arch we give)
With love of loneliness (With thoughts of loneliness)
Enslaved by loneliness (Oh-oh)

[Verse 3: Common]
I want you to come inside your mind
And find a place, nasty and kind
This is where our desires grind
And where they peak is most divine
A place and time I hope we reach together
You are my queen and freak forever
I feel you inside my stomach
My body shakes (Ahh)

[Chorus: Prince & Bilal]
Wet dreaming on my mind
Erotica, can I come in your mind?
Erotica, "P.S., with love", I sign
Erotica, wish on star 69
Erotica, wish on star 69
Erotica-ca-ca, wish on star 69

[Outro: Prince]
Wish on star 69, wish on 69
Wish on star 69, wish on 69
Wish on star 69, wish on 69
Wish on star 69, wish on 69

Common

Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972), better known by his stage name Common (previously Common Sense), is a Grammy and Oscar-winning rapper and actor from Chicago, Illinois. Common’s inspired mix of poetic flow and hip-hop soul has helped him earn his status as one of the most respected rappers in the game.

After being a ball boy for his hometown Chicago Bulls as a teen and attending Florida A&M University for business administration, Common Sense kicked in and he left school to become a rapper. He gained national attention after being featured in the Unsigned Hype column of The Source magazine in 1991. He released his debut album Can I Borrow a Dollar? through Relativity Records in 1992, followed by his breakthrough second album Resurrection in 1994, which features his hip-hop classic single “I Used To Love H.E.R.”

As his career began to take off, he was sued by the music group Common Sense over the name, leading Common to drop the “Sense” and allude to the change in the title of his third album, One Day It’ll All Make Sense (1997). He has released several critically acclaimed albums, including Like Water For Chocolate (2000), which features his J Dilla-produced hit single “The Light”, and Be (2005), which was released under fellow Chicago musician Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint. He also joined musicians Karriem Riggins and Robert Glasper to form the group August Greene, and the trio released their self-titled album in 2018.
