[Verse 1]
First, see the city skylights shining from my room
You're such a sight to see in the month of June
Beautiful like the moon's reflection when
It's passing off your skin
And before you let me in
I hear you say, "It's been a long time"
I say, "Okay-kay-kay, don't worry, I got you"
Do you say, "How 'bout some foreplay?"
Got that, got plenty, I got you
Do you say, "Play some slow ones"
Got that Sade, Al Green, and Marvin Gaye, too
To love you gently

[Chorus]
Oooh, let me love you gently
Lay back, relax, girl I'ma be
Light as a feather, but hard as a rock
'Cause daddy know just what you like
Gonna love you gently
(Gonna love you baby, gentle with you baby, ooh ooh)
Light as a feather, but hard as a rock
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

[Verse 2]
See, I know just when to finish and I know just when to start
And I'll be loving your reaction everytime I hit that spot (gently)
But it's soft like leather (gently), but the top is hard (gently)
Whisper your pleasures (gently), then I'll do my job
Invigorating, intense, girl, let me do what I do
I don't know what's echoing louder, the music or you (gently)
I ain't close to be done yet (gently), but you're getting real warm (gently)
Like the calm of the thunder (gently), right after the storm
Do you say, you say, do you say it, girl?
I'm, gonna push it to the limit, oooh
(It's yours, it's yours)
See, second place or win the race, I'm gonna be your number one
(Til the sun shines)
Woooaaah, here comes the sun (forever more)
Let's try and taste the moon again, forever more

[Chorus]
Let me love you gently
That's the sound of love, ripping shades off the wall
Light as a feather, but hard as a rock
Ooh, this might not be in the bedroom
But I'm gonna love you, girl, gently
Gonna love you gently, oooh
Light as a feather, but hard as a rock
Let me touch you gently
Light as a feather, but hard as a rock
Gonna love you gently (ah babe, ah baby)
Light as a feather, but hard as a rock

[Outro]
Oooooooooh, can you feel me, girl?
Aye, uh huh
We don't need no room
All we need is me and you, aye
Wanna love you
