Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love –
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
Get down make love
Get down make love

Everytime I get hot
You wanna cool down
Everytime I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say it’s enough
In fact it’s too much
Everytime I get a – 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

Everytime I get high
You wanna come down
Everytime I get hot
You say you wanna cool down
You say it’s enough
In fact it’s too much
Everytime I wanna, get down, get down get down –
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love
