So much on my mind I wanna to do
(Like) lay you down
(And like) mess around

Girl, let's get it on
1 - My secret lover
My mystery girl
I wanna play hide and seek
Baby, let's creep between the sheets tonight
My secret lover
My mystery girl
I wanna play hide and seek
Baby, let's creep between the sheets tonight
My door is open wide, let me come inside
Shadows fill the room from the candlelights
See our bodies moving to the groove, yeah
So girl let's get it on, ain't no time to loose
You got me on cloud nine
And I don't wanna come down
Your lovin' soothes my soul
And I love it when you come around
Repeat 1
This meal is on my plate
I can't wait to taste, taste you girl
Good lovin' going down all around this place
(Like) upstairs
(And like) down there
(Like) everywhere
Woman, I don't care
Repeat 1
If the wind blows, no one knows
'Bout the hiding place on my boat
You body's cold, let me step to you
And rub you down nice and slow
Nothing but the water
And opportunity for you and me
So baby girl just ride my wave
Until the next day
Can't you feel me babe, oh baby
My secret lover
My secret lover
