Early morning whispers to me
I was taken unaware
I remember sunlight creepin'
In the window over there
The day had promised true love
Smiles awaken as we rise
Our golden slumbers long gone
Only you got in my eyes
And now I'll never be the same
'Cause you made me over

If I were a bell, baby, I would ring
Tell the whole world that you are my everything

{Who's that peepin' in my window}
Uh-uh
Oh
Oh

Yo', baby doll
I'm not tryin' to sweat you
But lately
It seems like you haven't been givin' me 100%
Now you're gonna have to tell me somethin'
Is there someone else in the picture
Or am I still the only one
Ah, yeah

I've been trying to describe the things I feel about you

Into the cave where lust and love became one
Where the round wound and the black bottom quiver
Where the ivory gets tickles by cool black hands
We create dance and melody
Resounding
Unpretentious spirit
Oh that we are the leaders of tomorrow
At a quarter past eleven they'll come running
Caged but ever free
To the sound of the drum and the runes on the wall

Into the cave where lust and love became one
Where the round wound and the black bottom quiver
Where the ivory gets tickles by cool black hands
We create dance and melody
Resounding
Unpretentious spirit
Oh that we are the leaders of tomorrow
At a quarter past eleven they'll come running
Caged but ever free
To the sound of the drum and the runes on the wall

Hey, baby
What you feel like doin'
Just me, just you
Just us two

(Just us two) Oh, baby
(Just us) Ooh-wee-, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh, ooh baby
(Just us two) Ey...hey...
(Just us)
I saw your face and love struck me just like a lightning bolt
Just like 20,000 volts
You seemed so shy I guess I'll shoot a rocket to the moon
Can't afford to lose this groove

I got to let you know

How supple your lips
The kind that were meant for kissing
I remember you
Warm and brown and how your lips invited me to dine
Candles lit I still burn mine every night about a quarter past three

There is a memory that lives and breathes
And flows through my veins like a good drug
The thought of your lips slightly parted
Beckoning the kiss that I wished I could try out on myself

Smooth talking ladies' man
The time is come for me to tell you who and what I am
I ignored the danger sign
I held on to you tight
Just like the grapes cling to the vine
I was only seventeen
A virgin to your love
A stranger to your dreams
You talked about sincerity
You wanted most to turn me out exclusively

And baby baby I was like a child
And then you tried to drive me wild

I might as well be wearing rose-colored glasses
Looking at the world through rose-colored you
For you know your smile is ever convincing me
That nobody else's love will ever do

Can I speak of you
My lips know nothing but your name
Can I speak of passion
Without feeling guilt or shame
Heaven must have known I needed something real
To call my very own

Cupid is a real straight shooter

He had brunet hair with blond streaks
A different kind of fellow
Sitting on the road in New Orleans
He ate fillet gumbo, I think I ordered steak
I looked into his eyes and said
For Heaven's sake, listen to me
I got you need

I don't know what to do anymore
I've shown him all of my love and more

And I said stay by my side
Got your ticket to ride
And he blushed at my verbal logistics

Contrary to popular opinion I'm extremely shy
I'm not the kind of girl who goes for any kind of guy
I seem together yea you always say I'm cool
But baby ooh you know that there is always an exception to the rule

Cause I loved you since day one baby
I thought about it I'd swim the deepest sea
To love you my only lover

You are the answer and you are the deal

Ooh...hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...yeah...

Last night I saw a shooting star fall from the sky
I thought of you and wished you here
I tried to see your face to free you in your dreams
But miracles need wings to fly

Do you understand a heart that beats for you
A love that knows no one but you
I say a little prayer each night and I try not to cry
'Cause miracles need wings to fly

Saw you there, Tall and dark, Handsome too
Put it all together baby and you got
Lots of groovy loving, Lover by the dozen
Giving you things like diamond rings
What they wouldn't do for you
At its best there's still the emptiness
You travel down that road alone
Really got it going on

Snap your fingers and they all come running
But what about your love baby

War is all around us
Fighting everywhere
Poverty, destruction
Do they really even care
Brothers fighting brothers cause their color's blue
So we're living in the red zone, what am I supposed to do

Sometimes I feel like I don't want to sing at all
Then I think about you baby and I know I got stand up tall

Babies making babies, full of china white
