I wanna give you pleasure, don't wanna give you pain
I can feel this pressure running through my veins
And I'm ready, oh I'm ready to play the loving game
Ooh I start to shiver and my knees go weak
When I talk about ya I can hardly speak
And I'm ready, yeah I'm ready to play the loving game
I've been holding back, holding out for you
No-one makes me feel the way you do
I gotta see you tonight, straight down the line
I wanna feel you tonight, your body next to mine
And I won't let go, 'cos I want you to know
We're gonna play that loving game
Give me your body, give me your soul
We're gonna have a party, yeah we're gonna rock and roll
And I'm ready, yeah I'm ready to play the loving game
I've been holding on, holding out for you
No-one makes me feel the way you do
I gotta see you tonight, straight down the line
I wanna feel you tonight, your body next to mine
And I won't let go, 'cos I want you to know
We're gonna play that loving game
I gotta see you tonight, straight down the line
I wanna feel you tonight, your body next to mine
And I won't let go, 'cos I want you to know
I gotta see you tonight, straight down the line
I wanna feel you tonight, your body next to mine
And I won't let go, 'cos I want you to know
We're gonna play that loving game
I gotta see you tonight
I wanna feel you tonight
