Staying Power
Barry White · Other Songs - Barry White
IÂ’m stayingÂ…baby IÂ’m staying
You know why?
IÂ’ve got staying power
Baby, IÂ’ve made plans
In a fancy restaurant where we can dance
Put on my favorite dress
You know the one
That oozes sexiness
Tonight when we make love
IÂ’m going to work your body with my tongue
Ohh baby, my missions clear
ThereÂ’s more than love that keeps you here
IÂ’ve got staying power
Just when you think itÂ’s over
IÂ’ll come right back again
IÂ’ve got staying power
Just when you think itÂ’s over
IÂ’ll come right back again
IÂ’ve got staying power
Just when you think itÂ’s over
Slow down, donÂ’t heat so fast
Anticipation makes a good thing last
Tease me with your emotions
Soon weÂ’ll share natureÂ’s body lotion
Are you ready to free
Girl you know you got just what I need
Oh baby, my missions clear
ItÂ’s more than love that keeps you here
IÂ’ve got staying power
Just when you think itÂ’s over
IÂ’ll come right back again
IÂ’ve got staying power
Just when you think itÂ’s over
IÂ’ll come right back again
IÂ’ve got staying power
Just when you think itÂ’s over
No, no baby IÂ’m not going anywhere
No no no IÂ’m not going anywhere
IÂ’ll be here
Ill be here
For years and years
Tonight when we make love
IÂ’m going to work your body with my tongue
Oh baby my missions clear
ThereÂ’s more than love that keeps you here
IÂ’ve got staying power
Just when you think its over
IÂ’ll come right back again
IÂ’ve got staying power
Just when you think itÂ’s over
IÂ’ll come right back again
IÂ’ve got staying power
Just when you think itÂ’s over
