My baby moves at midnight
goes right on till the dawn
My woman takes me higher
my woman keeps me warm

What you doin’ on your back aah
What you doin’on your back aah?
You should be dancing, yeah

She’s juicy and she’s trouble
She gets it to me good
My woman gives me power
Goes right down to my blood
