Speaking In Tongues

Toni Braxton · Heat [2000]

I know that it's over but I still reminisce

'Bout the very first time that I saw you

And the first time that we kissed

I still recall the days of good old love we made

Without taking off our clothes

you spoke a language to my body baby

So universal, you and me talking baby



Ooh ahhh, oh my, ooh la la la la

Uhh uhh, uhh uhh

Speaking in tongues babe with you



Maybe we could exchange

A little con versation

315-37 69 call me boy anytime

Don't nee no caller id, 'cause I won't have anybody

Interrupting our call

Talk dirty to me baby without talking at all

you got me singin' baby



Ooh ahhh, oh my, ooh la la la la

Uhh uhh, uhh uhh

Speaking in tongues babe with you



How do we play pretend

How do we do not sin

And be together making love forever

Then I will fantasize

Make you up in my mind

And intimately I will cry



Ooh ahhh, oh my, ooh la la la la

Uhh uhh, uhh uhh

Speaking in tongues babe with you
