The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the middle of the night
When the time is right
Sexily right
I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow
Much harder though
Sexily so
I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm feelin' hot
I ain't never gonna stop
To get what you got
You better take what I bring
Feel it now
Much harder now
More than any old how
Say you feel the pain
(Feel I'm) getting harder now
(Get off your back, four) hey!
(Get on top more) oww!
(Feel I'm) sinking farther down
(Get off your back four) hey!
(Get on top more) all right!
I told you to stop
You're sleeping out a lot
You told me get lost
Where's your understanding?
I feel it now
Much harder than I've ever done now
I'd better do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing
(Feel I'm) getting harder now
(Get off your back four) hey!
(Get on top more) oww!
(Feel I'm) sinking farther down
(Get off your back four) hey!
(Get on top more) all right!
In the middle of the night
When the time is right
Sexily right
I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow
Much harder than I've ever done now
I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
You know I told you that I would never dream of leaving
If I did it right
I'm gonna do the right thing
