Performed by jermaine jackson
When I'm in love
I do it right
One on one
All thru the night
Ooh I take my time
And work it slow
You've been whipped
Before you know
Cause in these arms
There's ectasy
Once we've touched
You're history
Ooh imagine baby
You'll lose control
When we make love
Away we go
We can go where we want to
The world is ours tonight
We can do what we want to
Just tell me your delight
Girl I'll steal your heart, take your breath away
Take you on lovers holiday
We can't stop now
While we're in flight
We can't turn back
It feels so right, ooh
Our destinations, not far away
In just one minute...a holiday now
As we're coming down baby
Hold me close 'cause I'm not through and
There won't be no ground baby
I'm a work at it, I'm a whack it, 'til you like it
Up up up and away away we go
Hook
Our destination is not far away
We're one minute from a holiday
The whole wide world is ours tonight
Can't turn back it feels so right
Come on pretty baby just fly with me
I'll take you to a place where you oughta be
Ooh baby just you and me
In ectasy
As we're coming down baby
Hold me close 'cause I'm not through and
There won't be no ground baby
I'm a work it, I'm a whack it, 'til you like it
Up up up and away away we go
Hook
