In this place of hidden desires
Secret love that lights the fire
We can make it happen
It don't have to be your fantasy
We keep to ourselves
There's no laws of love to measure
What to call forbidden pleasure
Should we take a chance?
Will we make romance reality?
But first we must all agree to
Lay back, back
Lay back
Lay back, back
Lay back
Lay back, back
Lay back
On this morning masquerade
I'm not sure of who to play
Is it jealousy hypnotizing me
To change my mind
And stop this feeling deep inside?
Lay back, back
Lay back
Lay back, back
Lay back
Lay back, back
Lay back
If you're afraid of what you might be feeling
Just kick back, relax and let it happen
Lay back, back
Lay back
Lay back, back
Lay back
Lay back, back
Lay back
(Lay back, back) We were young, didn't know the rules at the time
Was it a passion or was it just a crime?
(Lay back, back) We gotta lay back
Remember, oh no, whoa
(Lay back, back) Whoo!
Secret love that lights the fire
We can make it happen
It don't have to be your fantasy
We keep to ourselves
There's no laws of love to measure
What to call forbidden pleasure
Should we take a chance?
Will we make romance reality?
But first we must all agree to
Lay back, back
Lay back
Lay back, back
Lay back
Lay back, back
Lay back
On this morning masquerade
I'm not sure of who to play
Is it jealousy hypnotizing me
To change my mind
And stop this feeling deep inside?
Lay back, back
Lay back
Lay back, back
Lay back
Lay back, back
Lay back
If you're afraid of what you might be feeling
Just kick back, relax and let it happen
Lay back, back
Lay back
Lay back, back
Lay back
Lay back, back
Lay back
(Lay back, back) We were young, didn't know the rules at the time
Was it a passion or was it just a crime?
(Lay back, back) We gotta lay back
Remember, oh no, whoa
(Lay back, back) Whoo!
