Lyrics
Tell me your secret
I don’t just want to know about any secret of yours
Because tonight I want you to learn
All about the secrets in your garden
I wanna read your mind
Know you deepest feelings
I wanna make it right for you
Baby, show me
Let me share the mystery, oh
Listen to your heart tonight
(Come on, come on, come on)
Make it alright, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Come on, come out tonight)
I know a melody that we could sing together
I’ve got the secret key to you, baby
Let’s make music, harmonizin’ ecstasy
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Come on, sing it to me
Here in the garden where temptation feels so right
Passion can make you fall for what you feel
In the garden we can make it come alive
(We can make it come alive)
Every night
(Every single night)
Oh, woman your secret garden
I need to be with you, let me lay beside you
Do what you want me too all night
I’m gonna hold you
Ooh, baby, can I touch you there
I can keep you satisfied, baby
(Come on, come on, come on)
Ooh, ooh wee, ooh wee, baby
Please, baby, oh, darlin’
(Come on, come out tonight)
(Yeah, baby)
I’ll take good care of you
That’s what a man is supposed to do
And I’ll be there for you all the time
Let your hair down, let me get you in the mood
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Take me, take me with you
Into the garden
(Into the garden)
Where temptation feels so right
Passion can make you fall for what you feel
In the garden
We can make it come alive
Every night, oh, woman
Here in the garden
And I never wanted anyone
I never wanted anyone as much as I
As much as I want you
I want you to show me
I want you to tell me how you feel
All the secrets
If you think I am gonna take care of you
If you think I have got what you need
Sho’ you right
(And I want to take our time because we have all night)
If you think I am gonna be good to you
If you think I like what you do
Sho’ you right
(Oh, I’m gon’ be so good to you, baby)
If you think I am gonna take care of you
If you think I have got what you need
Sho’ you right
(Let me know your secrets)
If you think I am gonna be good to you
If you think I like what you do
Sho’ you right
(Sho’ you right, baby, you don’t know me)
If you think I am gonna take care of you
If you think I have got what you need
Sho’ you right
(How does that feel)
If you think I am gonna be good to you
(I’m gonna be good to you)
If you think I like what you do
Sho’ you right
(Sho’ you right)
If you think I am gonna take care of you
If you think I have got what you need
Sho’ you right
(Turn the lights down low)
