[Verse 1]
Sleep, my love
Don't you worry
You just sleep, my love
And I'll stroke your hair
Oh, the sunlight on your face
As the day begins to break
When you wake
And your smile meets mine
Now my day begins
You're my inspiration
Seeing your face glow
Is the nicest of hellos
[Refrain]
Five 'til noon
You sneak up from behind
Kiss and caress me
Make love to my mind
A whisper and a kiss from you
Warms my heart
Means so much
Making love our way
Early in the day
[Bridge]
You walk in the room
In a sunset sort of mood
My emotions light up 'cause of you
Now that evening's come
We're dressed for us, my love
Wine and candles puts us in a sexy mood
That's when we get to it
Close our eyes
Feel our our way through it
I can't wait to groove ya
'Cause you sure know how to move it
You've made love to my mind
Now you gotta take me from behind
Just like in the movies
When the action begins
Let's put on a show
And we'll take it nice and slow
Oh, here we go
Tell me do you want the blindfold
Tell me what you like
Baby, should I do it once or twice?
I know that we get naughty
But I know you like it like that
Now that we felt this warm explosion
I know you're satisfied
I see it in your eyes
Relax
Be still, my love
Let your heart slow down
'Cause I'm no through, my dear
So you can't stop
Remember twenty foreplay
[Outro]
Can you feel it? Twenty foreplay
I need it twenty foreplay
You know I need it, yes, I need it
A 24-hour play, you know a twenty foreplay
Can you feel it? Twenty foreplay
'Cause I need it, a twenty foreplay
Let me feel your twenty foreplay
Ooh, not yet
Twenty foreplay
Gotta have it twenty foreplay
I want it twenty foreplay
You know I need it, twenty foreplay
Twenty foreplay
I want it twenty foreplay
I want it twenty foreplay
Let me feel your twenty foreplay
Yes, I need it
It's not what you say
Before we start to play
It's what you say after
That makes me want to stay
Sleep, my love
Don't you worry
You just sleep, my love
And I'll stroke your hair
Oh, the sunlight on your face
As the day begins to break
When you wake
And your smile meets mine
Now my day begins
You're my inspiration
Seeing your face glow
Is the nicest of hellos
[Refrain]
Five 'til noon
You sneak up from behind
Kiss and caress me
Make love to my mind
A whisper and a kiss from you
Warms my heart
Means so much
Making love our way
