Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You got the power to turn on my light
When the rest of the world is in darkness
You give me feelings no man could deny
Girl, there's something bewitching in you
I need you here by me every night and day
There ain't no words describin' the magic you make
[Verse 2]
So, baby, light me up with your love
Only you can make my temperature rise
We got to give it all that we got
Make those wildest fantasies fly
Come on and light me up with your love
Won't you lead me to that heaven I need?
'Cause, girl, you know I can't get enough
Lovely lady, lay that sweetness on me
[Verse 3]
You got a motion that melts up my mind
Every time that I see it in action (Movin' so good)
There ain't no potion a doc could prescribe
That would stop me reactin' to you
I'm gonna feed your passion with all of my soul
I need to hold you tight, girl, until I get old
[Verse 4]
So, baby, light me up with your love
Only you can make my temperature rise
We got to give it all that we got
Make those wildest fantasies fly
Come on and light me up with your love
Won't you lead me to that heaven I need?
'Cause, girl, you know I can't get enough
Lovely lady, lay that sweetness on me
[Verse 5]
Don't need no dreams 'cause a dream won't get it
Want your sugar today
Ain't gonna stop 'cause my heart won't let it
Now and ever after, gonna love this life away
[Verse 6]
You are the answer to every desire
Got me runnin' so hot that I'm steamin' (Makin' me fry)
There ain't no question, I'm feelin' the fire
'Cause this motor's been burnin' for you
I'm gonna feed your passion with all of my soul
Tonight I'll turn you on till we're out of control
[Verse 7]
So, baby, light me up with your love
(Just light me up, give me your love)
(Just light me up, give me your love)
Give it all that we got
(Give it to me, all that you got)
(Give it to me, all that you got)
Light me up with your love
(Just light me up, give me your love)
Won't you lead me to that heaven I need?
(Just light me up, give me your love)
'Cause, girl, you know I can't get enough
(Just light me up, can't get enough)
Lovely lady, lay that sweetness on me
(Just light me up, can't get enough)
(Just light me up, give me your love)
Light me up with your love
Only you can make my temperature rise
(Just light me up, give me your love)
Give it all that we got
(Give it to me, all that you got)
Make those wildest fantasies fly
(Give it to me, all that you got)
Light me up with your love
(Just light me up, give me your love)
