Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, hello
Gee
I can't believe you're here with me
Oh, I've wanted to see you alone for so long
Where did you learn to do all that?
Oh, come on over here
Sit down right next to me
Oh, come on, don't be afraid
I ain't gonna hurt you
(No)
Just wanna show you a few things
I picked up when you went away
Like this
Ah, don't feel bad
Oh, so good, so good, so good
(Ooh, so good)
You and me have got in bed
[Verse 2]
Now that we caress
A kiss so warm and tender
I can't wait till we reach
That sweet moment of surrender
Oh, we'll hear the thunder roar
Feel lightning strike
We don't have to hurry
'Cause you know we got all night
[Verse 3]
Hang on in there baby
Hang on in there, doll
I'm gonna give you more
Than you've ever dreamed possible
Hang on in there baby
Hang on in there, doll
I'm gonna give you more
Than you've ever dreamed possible
[Verse 4]
Don't be afraid, baby, oh, no
You're the master of the world
Whoa, we can't help but make it
Because there's real love between us, boy
Whoa, come on, help me touch that fire
That every girl dreams of
We're almost there, little boy
We're truly makin' love
[Verse 5]
Hang on in there baby
Hang on in there, doll
I'm gonna give you more
Than you ever dreamed possible
Hang on in there baby
Please don't let me down
Please don't destroy
This new joy we've found
[Verse 6]
So heavy
Listen now, baby
What is that you say?
Something eatin' at you?
It's gonna get away
Don't you fight it, baby
Come on, open up the door
That's the key to freedom
We've been workin' for
Let it go, baby, let it go, honey
Oh, right there, right there
Don't you move it anywhere
Let it go, let it go
[Verse 7]
Hang on in there baby
Oh, hang on in there, doll
I'm gonna give you more
Than you ever dreamed possible
Hang on in there baby
Please don't let me down
Please don't destroy
This new joy we've found
Hang on in there baby
Hang on in there, doll
I'm gonna give you more
Than you ever dreamed possible
Hang on in there baby
Please don't let me down
Please don't destroy
This brand new joy we found
(Hang in there)
(Hang in there)
Yeah, oh, yeah, come on, baby
[Verse 8]
Ah, do it to me one more time
Dig that, boy
One more time, yeah
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
(Come let it go)
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, baby
[Verse 9]
Hang on, hang on (Let it go)
Let it go
Let it go (Hang on)
('Cause our love)
Hang on (Hang on), hang on (Hang on)
Hang on, let it go
(Hang on)
(Hang on to)
[Verse 10]
Hang on in there baby
(Yeah)
Hang on in there, doll
Let it go, let it go
Hang on in there baby
Hang on in there, doll (Hang on in there)
You got to, yeah, you got to hang on in there baby (Oh, let go)
Hang on in there, doll
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
