[Intro]
Yeah, girl, I don't want you to hold back any longer, baby
'Cause tonight, I'm gonna give you all the things
I know you've been waiting for
So, brace yourself, and listen

[Verse 1]
I hear you calling, here I come, baby, to save you, oh oh
Baby, no more stalling, these hands have been longing to touch you, baby, woo
And now that you've come around, to seeing it my way
You won't regret it, baby, and you surely won't forget it, baby
It's unbelievable how your body's calling for me
I can just hear it calling, calling, calling for me

[Chorus]
My body's calling for you (baby, I can hear it calling, baby)
My body's calling for you (your body's calling me)
My body's calling for you (oh, oh)
My body's calling for you (come on, baby)

[Verse 2]
Tell me, what's your desire, baby, your wish is my will, oh yes, it is
Baby, let me take you higher and show you how you should feel, baby
Oh, so I speak now and forever hold your body
Whatever it is you want from me, lady
You see you don't have to say nothing, I know when your body wants something
And it's easy for me to see that your body's calling for me

[Chorus]
My body's calling for you (oh, oh, I hear it calling me)
My body's calling for you (I can hear it calling me)
My body's calling for you (oh, oh, oh, calling me)
My body's calling for you (yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
I'm listening, baby, I hear you calling me
I'm listening, baby, I hear you calling me
I'm listening, baby, I hear you calling me
I'm listening, baby, I hear you calling me
Hear your body calling me

[Chorus]
My body's calling for you (oh, I hear you calling me, yeah)
My body's calling for you (I hear you calling me, oh, oh)
My body's calling for you (I can just hear you calling me, yeah)
My body's calling for you
My body's calling for you (see your body's yearning, yeah, yearning for me)
My body's calling for you (and I like it, baby, it's yearning for me)
My body's calling for you (yes, it is, you see I'm wild enough to know)
My body's calling for you (when a body's yearning, for me, yeah)
My body's calling for you (I wanna say it again)
My body's calling for you (see I'm wild enough to know, when a body's yearning, for me)
My body's calling for you (yeah)
My body's calling for you (girl, you want me, oh, 'cause I can hear your body calling for me, yes, I can, oh)
My body's calling for you (I can hear it a mile away, calling for me)
My body's calling for you

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”).
