I Wanna Do It With You
Barry Manilow · Other Songs - Barry Manilow
Doesn't matter who I know
Nowadays I always find
You are always on my mind
All I think about is love
Love is all I'm dreamin' of
I lay around in a daze
Thinkin' of all the ways
(Chorus)
I wanna do it
Do it with you
I wanna do it
Do it with you
I wanna hold you all night long
Oh baby, it feels so strong
I wanna do it
Do it with you
I wanna do it
Do it with you
I wanna love out my fantasies
C'mon, baby please!
Say you will, say I can
Say that I can be your man
You've been out had your flings
I've been waiting in the wings
I know my part, I know my lines
I've rehearsed so many times
Let me turn the lights down low
And we can get on with the show
(Chorus)
Oh honey
Move in my direction
Time for some serious affection
Oh it's gonna be such a fine thing
Talk about thunder and lightning
(Chorus)
