Well hello. Gee, I can’t believe you’re here with me.
Oh, I’ve wanted to see you alone for so long.
Where did you learn to do all that?
Oh, c’mon over here,
sit down right next to me.
Oh, c’mon, don’t be afraid.
I ain’t gonna hurt you.
Just want to show you a few things
I picked up when you went away.
Like this. Ah, don’t feel bad.
Oh, so good, so good, so good.
You and me have got in bed.

Now that we carress,
a kiss so warm and tender,
I can’t wait ’til we reach
that sweet moment of surrender.
Oh, we’ll hear the thunder roar,
feel lightning strike.
We don’t have to hurry,
’cause you know we got all night.

Hang on in there, baby.
Hang on in there, doll.
I’m gonna give you more
than you’ve ever dreamed possible.
Hang on in there, baby.
Hang on in there, doll.
I’m gonna give you more
than you’ve ever dreamed possible.

Don’t be afraid, baby. Oh, no.
You’re the master of the world.
Whoa, we can’t help but make it,
because there’s real love between us, boy.
Whoa, c’mon, help me touch that fire
that every girl dreams of.
We’re almost there little boy.
We’re truly making love.

Hang on in there, baby.
Hang on in there, doll.
I’m gonna give you more
than you ever dreamed possible.
Hang on in there, baby.
Please don’t let me down.
Please don’t destroy
this new joy we’ve found.

Uh, so heavy, uh.
Listen now, baby.
What is that you say?
Something eating at you?
It’s gonna get away.
Don’t you fight it, baby.
C’mon, open up the door.
That’s the key to freedom
we’ve been working for.
Let it go, baby. Let it go, honey.
Oh, right there, right there.
Now don’t you move it anywhere.
Let it go. Let it go!

Hang on in there, baby.
Oh, hang on in there, doll.
I’m gonna give you more
than you ever dreamed possible.
Hang on in there, baby.
Please don’t let me down.
Please don’t destroy
this new joy we found.

Hang on in there, baby.
Hang on in there, doll.
I’m gonna give you more
than you ever dreamed possible.
Hang on in there, baby.
Please don’t let me down.
Please don’t destroy
this brand new joy we found.

Yeah, oh yeah. C’mon, baby.
Ah, do it to me one more time.
Dig that boy. Ooh-hoo. Mmmm.
One more time, yeah.
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go.
Let it go.
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go.
Let it go.

Hang on, hang on, hang on,
’cause I love ya.
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Hang on in there, baby.
Hang on in there, doll.
Let it go, let it go.
Hang on in there, baby.
