Ecstasy
Eric Carmen · Other Songs - Eric Carmen
It makes me shiver
'Cause when I get home
Just wait till I get you alone
Ecstasy, when you touch me
I'm in ecstasy
No one else could do the thing you do
Let me please you, too, tonight
Ecstasy, when you kiss me
I'm in ecstasy
No one else could make me feel this way
Tell me that you'll stay tonight
When you wrap your love around me
And move so gently
I feel it begin, don't stop
I can feel my head spinning
Ecstasy, when you touch me
I'm in ecstasy
No one else could do the thing you do
Let me please you, too, tonight
Ecstasy, when you kiss me
I'm in ecstasy
No one else could make me feel this way
Tell me that you'll stay tonight
Baby, baby I just wanna make you feel
The way I do
You got my back bone shaking
And my poor heart breaking in two
When I think of all your loving
It makes me shiver
'Cause when I get home
Just wait till I get you alone
Ecstasy, when you touch me
I'm in ecstasy
No one else could do the thing you do
Let me please you, too, tonight
Ecstasy, when you kiss me
I'm in ecstasy
No one else could make me feel this way
Tell me that you'll stay tonight
When you wrap your love around me
And move so gently
I feel it begin, don't stop
I can feel my head spinning
Ecstasy, when you touch me
I'm in ecstasy
No one else could do the thing you do
Let me please you, too, tonight
Ecstasy, when you kiss me
I'm in ecstasy
No one else could make me feel this way
Tell me that you'll stay tonight
Stay tonight, stay today
