Lyrics
Babe, you’re getting closer
The lights are goin’ dim
The sound of your breathin’
Made the mood I’m in
All of my resistance
Lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I’ve never been before
Ooh, and I can feel it
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down
Ooh, my head is spinnin’
You got me in your spell
A hundred magic fingers
A swirling carousel
The medicine within me
No doctor could prescribe
Your love is doing’ something
That I just can’t describe
Ooh, and I can feel it
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down
Hold me again
Tight as you can
I need you so
Baby, let’s go
Way down where it feels so good
Way down where I hoped it would
Way down where I never could
Way down, down
