Turn Off the Lights Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Turn off the lights and light a candle
Tonight I'm in a romantic mood, yeah
Let's take a shower, said a shower together, yes
I'll wash your body and you'll wash mine, yeah
Rub me down in some, some hot oils, baby
And I'll do the same thing to you
[Chorus]
Just turn off the lights, come to me
Girl, I wanna give you a special treat, you're so sweet
Turn off the lights, let's get cozy
See, you're the only one in the world that I need
[Verse 2]
I wanna love you, love you all over, yeah
Over and over and over and over and over again
Whisper sweet words of, of love in your ear
Show you I how much I missed you, missed you, my dear
[Chorus]
Turn 'em off and come to me
You see tonight I'm in, a sexy mood, mood, baby
And light a candle
Girl, there's something I, something I, something I, something I wanna do to you, baby
Yes, I do
Would you mind if I asked you to?
Would you rub me down
Would you rub me down in some, in some burnin' hot oils, baby
Yeah
I swear I'll return the same thing
The same thing to you, baby
Turn off the lights and light a candle
Tonight I'm in a romantic mood, yeah
Let's take a shower, said a shower together, yes
I'll wash your body and you'll wash mine, yeah
Rub me down in some, some hot oils, baby
And I'll do the same thing to you
[Chorus]
Just turn off the lights, come to me
Girl, I wanna give you a special treat, you're so sweet
Turn off the lights, let's get cozy
See, you're the only one in the world that I need
[Verse 2]
I wanna love you, love you all over, yeah
Over and over and over and over and over again
Whisper sweet words of, of love in your ear
Show you I how much I missed you, missed you, my dear
[Chorus]
Turn 'em off and come to me
You see tonight I'm in, a sexy mood, mood, baby
And light a candle
Girl, there's something I, something I, something I, something I wanna do to you, baby
Yes, I do
Would you mind if I asked you to?
Would you rub me down
Would you rub me down in some, in some burnin' hot oils, baby
Yeah
I swear I'll return the same thing
The same thing to you, baby
[Chorus]
Turn 'em off and let's get cozy
Girl, I wanna give you a special treat, you're so sweet
Turn 'em off, come closer
Girl, you're the only one in this whole wide world that I'd ever need
Turn 'em off
