[Chorus]
I wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you

[Verse 1]
Mood's right for love
And you're the one
Let's just stand for a while, for a while
Let's go down
Let's go deep undercover
Get into each other
I'll let you choose the style
When it's time to take you down

[Pre-Chorus]
Want to take you down
I want to love you, baby, like nobody ever loved you before
Want to take you down
Going to love you, baby, love you, baby, love

[Chorus]
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down

[Verse 2]
Oh, don't move fast
Keep it slow, baby, make it last
Oh, 'cause I feel so right, so right
Take you down, take you down, take you down

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, want to take you down
I want to love you, baby, like nobody ever loved you before
Want to take you down
Going to love you, baby, love you, baby, love

[Chorus]
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you

[Bridge]
Get down, get dirty
When I'm lovin' you, baby
Don't you know?
Oh, I'm ready

[Pre-Chorus]
Want to take you down
Take you down, baby
I want to love you, baby, like nobody ever loved you before
Want to take you down
Going to feel real good, baby
Want to take you down
I want to love you, baby, love you, baby, love

[Chorus]
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you

[Bridge]
Tell me, tell me, tell me how you feel, baby, yeah
Oh, my baby, my baby, my baby
Tell me, tell me how you feel, oh yeah
Don't it feel good to you, yeah?

[Chorus]
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you down
Wanna take you down, wanna take you
