Lyrics

After the party
You took me back to your parlour
A little nervous laughter
Locking the door
My stockings fall
Onto the floor
Desperate for more

Nobody else can share this
Here comes one and one makes one
The glorious union
Well it could be love
Or it could be just lust
But it will be fun
It will be wonderful

Oh, feel it. Oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love
Oh, feel it. Oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love
Oh, I need it. Oh, oh, feel it,
Feel it, my love
Feel it!
See what you’re doing to me?

God, but you’re beautiful, aren’t you?
Feel your warm hand walking around
I won’t pull away
My passion always wins
So keep on a-moving in
So keep on a-tuning in
Synchronise rhythm now

Oh, feel it. Oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love
Oh, feel it. Oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love
Oh, I need it. Oh, oh, feel it,
Feel it, my love
Feel it!
See what you’re doing to me?
See what you’re doing to me?
Just see what you’re doing to me
