Well, it's all I can do
To keep my hands off of you, but I'm tryin'
Pretty lady, I know that your love
Could be so satisfyin'.
You're a fine lookin'' woman and you rock my soul
I'm afraid I'm gonna loose control
You know I wanna treat you right
And I don't wanna be lonely tonight.
Well, I know you can tell
I'm gettin' hooked on your spell that I'm under
Flyin' up on a cloud
With my heart beatin' loud as the thunder.
But you're torturing me with everything you say
Then you go and turn your love away
You know I wanna treat you right
And I don't wanna be lonely tonight.
Lightin' is flashing and everything's crashin'
Around in my brain
The moon in the sky's shinin' deep in your eyes
Nearly drives me insane.
Girl I can't make it without you
I love everything about you
Keepin' me waiting
Is causing me so much pain.
Lightin' is flashing and everything's crashin'
Around in my brain
The moon in the sky's shinin' deep in your eyes
Nearly drives me insane.
Girl I can't make it without you
I love everything about you
Keepin' me waiting
Is causing me so much pain.
Well, you're torturin' me
And you can already see my reaction
If our lips ever touch
It's gonna give me so much satisfaction.
You're a fine lookin' woman, won't you be so kind
Come over here before I loose my mind
You know I wanna treat you right
And I don't wanna be lonely tonight.
Well, you know I'm gonna treat you right
And I don't wanna be lonely tonight...
