There's a little bit
Of heaven in your eyes tonight
And if you think I should
Girl, I'm gonna love you
'Til the feeling is right
But don't touch me
Until you feel it
And let's not make love
Until you mean it
Yeah, yeah, yeah

When you fall in love
Don't sit back upon a shelf
Selfishly, take a little for yourself
And with each passing day
Make sure that you don't forget
Every fool in love needs some tenderness, yeah

There's a little something special
In my life tonight
I can feel you tremble from a feeling
You cannot hide
And I won't touch you
Until I feel it
Let's not make love
Until we feel it, yeah, yeah

And when you fall in love
Don't sit back upon a shelf
Selfishly, take a little for yourself
And with each passing day
Make sure that you don't forget
Every fool in love needs some tenderness

Whoa...
(Needs some tenderness)

Well, I know that you're trembling
Well, well, from a feeling
Deep down inside
But I won't touch you
Until I feel it
Let's not make love
Until you mean it, yeah

Don't touch me
Don't, don't, don't touch me
'Til you feel it, feel it
Feel it...
