Published by Slalom Publishing Co. - BMI
Baby let's move cause you know that the light here
Really hurts my eyes
I come from a world where the light is dim
And the people not so jive
So fine, you know it's gonna be
So come on, come on, come on, come one baby
Come on if you want it to be
Oowatanite, everything'll be alright
Come on, come on, love me tonight
And I'll be yours till the sun comes up
Ooh baby, you know the time is right
We are the light of two foreign ships, passing in the night
So fine, you know it's gonna be
So come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Come on if you want it to be
Oowatanite, everything will be alright
Come on, come on, love me tonight
And I'll be yours till the sun comes up, again
Oowatanite, everything'll be alright
Come on, come on, love me tonight
And I'll be yours till the sun comes up
Ooh baby, don't hang me on the line
Life don't wait if you hesitate, come on quit wasting time
I know, you wonder if it's right
I just need a straight-shootin' woman to get me through the
night
So come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Come on if you want it to be
Oowatanite, everything'll be alright
Come on, come on, love me tonight
And I'll be yours till the sun comes up, again
