Words
Lyrics
You take my body, I give you heat
You say you're hungry, I give you meat
I suck your mind, you blow my head
Make love inside your bed
Everybody get down, make love
Get down, make love
Every time I get hot you want to cool down
Every time I get high you say you want to come down
You say it's enough
In fact it's too much
Every time I want to get down
Get down, make love
I can squeeze, you can shake me
I can feel when you break me
Come on so heavy when you take me
You make love, you make love, you make love, you make love
You can make
Everybody get down, make love
Get down, make love
Every time I get high you want to come down
Every time I get hot you say you want to cool down
You say it's enough
In fact it's too much
Every time I want to get down
Get down, make love
How old were you when you first let a man make love to you?
Next, who was he?
Next, how did you feel at the time?
Next, how did you feel afterwards?
What did you feel, what did you think?
Were you pleased, frightened, ecstatic, disgusted?
What did he say? What words did you speak?
That's what I want to know,
Now, tell me, now, now, all of it, now, tell me, yes!
