[Intro]
Happiness is when I, I think of you
And when we get together and rendezvous
I'll be on time, you bring the wine
And when we lock the door, you'll be all mine

[Verse 1]
Alone in my room
Thoughts of you in my head
As I wait
The time is soon
You'll arrive
Together then
We'll escape

[Pre-Chorus]
Into the night on wings of love
And do the things that we once dreamed of
All aboard a luxury
A first class ticket to ecstasy

[Chorus]
It won't stop
It don't stop
Our non-stop secret rendezvous
It won't stop
It don't stop
Our non-stop secret rendezvous
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
From a penthouse view
We'll make love
Drink champagne by candlelight
I'm so glad I'm in your arms
Baby, I am yours tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
To be with you is all I need
So lock the door and throw away the key
No one will disturb this groove
We could not stop it if we wanted to

[Chorus]
It won't stop
It don't stop
Our non-stop secret rendezvous
It won't stop
It don't stop
Our non-stop secret rendezvous
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh

Secret rendezvous

Happiness is when I, I think of you
And when we get together and rendezvous
I'll be on time, you bring the wine
And when we lock the door, you'll be all mine

I want you
Do you want me?
I wanna lock the door
Throw away the key
Ecstasy, yeah

[Bridge: Karyn White & (Babyface)]
(It won't stop)
No
(It don't stop)
Baby
(Our non-stop secret rendezvous)
(It won't stop, it don't stop)
I just wanna be with you
(Our non-stop secret rendezvous)

[Chorus]
It won't stop
It don't stop
Our non-stop secret rendezvous

(Oh-ooh-oh, oh-oh-ooh-oh, oh-oo-oh, secret rendezvous)

[Interlude]
I wanna rendezvous by candlelight
I wanna hug and squeeze you through the night
So lock the door, throw away the key
Ecstasy
I can't let no one disturb this groove
I couldn't stop it if I wanted to
It's you for me
And me for you
In a secret rendezvous

(Oh-ooh-oh, oh-oh-ooh-oh, oh-oo-oh, secret rendezvous)

[Chorus]
It won't stop
It don't stop
Our non-stop secret rendezvous
It won't stop
It don't stop
Our non-stop secret rendezvous

[Interlude]
I wanna rendezvous by candlelight
I wanna hug and squeeze you through the night
So lock the door, throw away the key
Ecstasy
I can't let no one disturb this groove
I couldn't stop it if I wanted to
It's you for me
And me for you
In a secret rendezvous

(Oh-ooh-oh, oh-oh-ooh-oh, oh-oo-oh, secret rendezvous)

[Chorus]
It won't stop
It don't stop
Our non-stop secret rendezvous
It won't stop
It don't stop
Our non-stop secret rendezvous
