Lyrics

Tell me a secret

I don't just want to know about any secret of yours

I want to know about one special secret

Oh

Because tonight I want to learn all about the secrets in your garden

I wanna read your mind

Know your deepest feelings

I wanna make it right for you

Baby, show me

Let me share the mystery, oh

(Come on, come on, come on, come on)

Listen to your heart tonight

(Come on, come on, come on)

Make it alright, yeah

(Come on, come out tonight)

I know a melody that we could sing together

I've got the secret key to you baby

Let's make music, harmonizing ecstasy

(Come on, come on, come on, come on)

Come on and sing it to me

Here in the garden, oh

(Where temptation feels so right)

Passion can make you fall for what you feel

(In the garden, we can make it come alive)

Ooh, we can make it come alive

(Every night)

Every single night

(Oh, woman)

Oh, girl

Your secret garden

Ooh

Oh, baby

I need to be with you

Let me lay beside you

Do what you want me to all night

Gonna hold you

Ooh, baby, can I touch you there

Come on, come on, come on, come on

I can keep you satisfied

Baby

(Come on, come on, come on)

Ooh, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, baby

Please, baby, oh, darlin'

(Come on, come out tonight)

Yeah, baby

I'll take good care of you

That's what a man is supposed to do

And I'll be there for you all the time

Let your hair down

Let me get you in the mood

(Come on, come on, come on, come on)

Come on, take me

Take me with you

(Into the garden)

Oh, in the garden

(Where temptation feels so right)

Passion can make you fall for what you feel

(In the garden, we can make it come alive)

In, oh

Every night

Oh, woman

Here in the garden

You know, I never wanted anyone

(Ooh)

I never wanted anyone as much as I

As much as I want you

(Mmm, oh)

I want you to show me

I want you to tell me how you feel

(Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, baby)

All the secrets

(If you think I, I'm gonna take care of you)

(If you think I, I've got what you need)

(Show you're right)

I want us to take our time because

We have all night

(If you think I, I'm gonna be good to you)

If you think that your love is all I know

(If you think I, I like what you do)

(Show you're right)

(Oh, I'm gon' be so good to you baby)

Woo

(Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, baby)

(If you think I, I am gonna take care of you)

(Hey)

(If you think I, I've got what you need)

Hey, yeah

(Show you're right)

(Baby, ooh, woo-woo)

Ooh, oh, ooh

Let me find your secrets

(Oh, baby)

Over

(If you think I, I'm gonna be good to you)

(Oh, baby)

(If you think I, I like what you do)

(Show you're right)

Show you're right

Baby, you know me

(If you think I, I'm gonna take care of you)

(Ooh)

(If you think I, I've got what you need)

(Show you're right)

How does that feel

(If you think I, I'm gonna be good to you)

Yeah, baby

I'm gonna be good to you, babe

(If you think I, I like what you do)

Oh, oh

(Show you're right)

If I'm gonna lead, show you're right

Yes I am

(If you think I, I'm gonna take care of you)

Ooh

(If you think I have got what you need)

(Show you're right)

Turn the lights down low

Turn the lights down

Turn it down, let's go
