Ooo been such a long time my baby girl

I can't wait and, how I do anticipate

Ooo holding you closely my darling dear

Don't you think it's time that we rejuvenate

Our visions of love and the way that we feel, let's make it real

Been much too long baby can't we make up for lost time tonight



(we're makin' love) we're makin' love tonight yeah baby

W're making whoopee

We're gonna share our love tonight

We won't stop til we get it right

We're makin' love tonight

We're makin' love

We're makin' whoopee

Sharing love tonight

We're gonna share our love tonight



Ooo hold me real tight please my baby love

Just relax and I'll get down to business girl

Yes kiss me all night please my baby girl

I promise to love you til the morning comes

I'll do to you all the things you do to me

You see it's been too much long baby

Can't we make up for lost time tonight
