Lyrics
I know we shouldn’t be here together doin’ the things we do
But I can’t help the way I feel I’ve just got to be with you
When our bodies touch each other there’s a feeling I can’t fight
And you take me to heaven every night
You smile and whisper I want you and we’re makin’ love again
By the way we call each other and it seems we’re more than friends
I tremble while we’re lovin’ oh Lord I hold on tight
And you take me to heaven every night
It’s so easy to see while you’re lovin’ me you’re turnin’ up to blame
I won’t another man touch me I know it wouldn’t be the same
So baby lock the door walk to the bed and then turbn out the light
And take me to heaven again tonight
[ steel ]
Oh take me to heaven again tonight
