Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sleep, my love
Don't you worry, you just sleep, my love
And I'll stroke your hair
Oh, the sunlight on your face
As the day begins to break
[Verse 2]
When you wake
And your smile meets mine, ah
My day begins
You're my inspiration
Seeing your face glow
Is the nicest of hellos
[Verse 3]
Five till noon, you sneak up from behind
Kiss and caress me, make love to my mind
A whisper and a kiss from you warms my heart
Means so much
Making love our way begins early in the day
[Verse 4]
You walk in the room
In a sunset sort of mood
My emotions light up 'cause of you
Now that evening's come
We're dressed for us, my love
Wine and candles puts us in a sexy mood
[Verse 5]
That's when we get to it
Close our eyes, feel our way through it
I can't wait to groove ya, 'cause ya sure know how to move it
You've made love to my mind
Now you gotta take me from behind
Just like in the movies when the action begins
[Verse 6]
Let's put on a show
And we'll take it nice and slow
Oh, here we go
Tell me, do you want the blindfold?
Tell me what you like
Baby, should I do it once or twice?
I know that we get naughty, but I know you like it like that
[Verse 7]
Now that we felt this warm explosion
I know you're satisfied, I see it in your eyes
Relax, be still my love
Let your heart slow down
'Cause I'm not through, my dear
Don't stop, remember twenty foreplay
[Verse 8]
Can you feel it? Twenty foreplay
I need it, twenty foreplay
You know I need it, yes I need it
24 hours a day
Can you feel it? Twenty foreplay
Let me feel your twenty foreplay
Not yet
Twenty foreplay, I gotta have a twenty foreplay
I want a twenty foreplay
You know I need it, gotta have a foreplay
Twenty foreplay
I want it, I got to have foreplay
I want it, twenty foreplay
Twenty foreplay, yes I need it
[Verse 9]
It's not what you say
Before we start to play
It's what you say after
That makes me want to stay
