When Your Body Gets Weak
Babyface · The Day
I'm gonna touch you, and lay you down
Tonight I'm gonna kiss you
I'm gonna taste you, all the way down
Tonight you don't have to be lonely
You need only to call me
And I will be down
When your body gets weak
And you need some affection, oh baby
I'll lay you down
When your body's in need
And you need some attention, oh lady
I'll lay you down
Tonight when I've been inside you
I'll lay down beside you, and stay all night long, yes I will
Tonight I just want you to teach me
Girl I just want to please thee
So just let's get it on, baby
Tonight there be no intermissions
I have only one mission
That's turning you on
HOOK
Tonight you don't have to be lonely
You need only to call me
And I will be down
