[Intro]
Baby, I'm so glad you're over here
Now I get to show you all the things
That I been wanting to show you for such a long time
Don't say nothing

[Verse 1]
Picture this you and me in the kitchen babe, on the counter
Feeding each other fruits babe
Straight from there walk into the bedroom babe
I touch your hair and then you turn around and say what's on your mind
And girl, tonight we'll be making sweet love

[Chorus]
Girl, tonight we'll make sweet love
Until the rain comes falling down on you and me
All of these things and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
Wanna kiss you places you want me to
Promise, girl, that I'll do all of these things
And etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
(Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)

[Verse 2]
Doing you pretty much all night long babe
'Till I hear you screaming my name babe
In the pool you and me skinny dipping darlin'
Kelly's rules, no playing hard to get
Now tell me what the deal cause
Girl tonight we'll be making sweet love

[Chorus]
Girl, tonight we'll make sweet love
Until the rain comes falling down on you and me
All of these things and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
Wanna kiss you places you want me to
Promise, girl, that I'll do all of these things
And etcetera, etcetera, etcetera

[Verse 3]
Put on some clothes and let's go to the IHOP, baby
(Let's go to the IHOP babe)
No, no, no (Baby we just made love)
No matter how good the food may taste
(No matter how the food may taste)
I'm still thinking about your body baby, yes I am
(It's your body I'm thinking of)

[Chorus]
Girl, tonight we'll make sweet love
Until the rain comes falling down on you and me
All of these things and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
Wanna kiss you places you want me to
Promise, girl, that I'll do all of these things
And etcetera, etcetera, etcetera

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
