Where do you go when no one's watching
Only you can see
I want to know how hot is that fire you burn for me
Cause all my life girl I've been waiting
On a love that strong
And maybe this one ain't it and I can tell it won't take long
(Chorus)
Not as long as I'm the man that I am
Light off shades down candles painting shadows on the wall
Ain't too hard to understand
What it does every taste every touch going deeper
Awe and it's a feelin' that I can't describe
I know you wouldn't understand unless you were the man that I am
I want to see all those secrets down there where you hide
I want to be the only man that goes that deep inside
Cause all my life girl I've been waitin' on a love that strong
And baby this one is it I can tell it won't take long
(Repeat Chorus)
Not as long as I'm the man that I am
Light off shades down candles painting shadows on the wall
Ain't too hard to understand
What it does every taste every touch going deeper
Awe and it's a feelin' that I can't describe
(Repeat Chorus)
Let me touch you one more time
Let me taste what's on your mind
Let me be right here beside you
When you wake up baby
I want to be the only man to touch you
I want to be the only man that pleases you
And teases you and takes you higher than you've ever been
Longer than you've ever seen
Stronger than you've ever seen
