Tell me a secret

I don't just wanna know about any secret of yours

I wanna know about one special secret (

Oh

)

Because tonight I want to learn all about the secrets in your garden

I wanna read your mind

Know your deepest feelings

I wanna make it right for you

Baby, show me

Let me share the mystery, oh

(Come on, come on, come on, come on)

Listen to your heart tonight

(Come on, come on, come on)

Make it alright, yeah

(Come on, come out tonight)

I know a melody that we could sing together

I've got the secret key to you, baby

Let's make music, harmonizing ecstasy

(Come on, come on, come on, come on)

Come on and sing it to me

Here in the garden, where temptation feels so right

(Passion can make you fall for what you feel)

In the garden (

Woo, ooh

), we can make it come alive

(We can make it come alive)

Every night (

Every single night

), oh, woman

(Your secret garden, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh hoo ooh)

(

Oh baby

)[Verse 3: El DeBarge]

I need to be with you

Let me lay beside you

Do what you want me to all night

Gonna hold you, ooh baby, can I touch you there?

(Come on, come on, come on, come on)

I can keep you satisfied, baby

(Come on, come on, come on)

Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, baby; please, baby, all night

(Come on, come out tonight)

Yeah, baby

I'll take good care of you

That's what a man is supposed to do

And I'll be there for you all the time

Let your hair down, let me get you in the mood

(Come on, come on, come on, come on)

Take me with you

Into the garden, where temptation feels so right

(Passion can make you fall for what you feel)

In the garden, we can make it come alive

Every night, oh, woman

(

Here in the garden

)[Interlude: Barry White]

You know I've never wanted anyone

I've never wanted anyone as much as I

As much as I want you

I want you to show me

I want you to tell me how you feel

All the secrets

If you think I'm gonna take care of you

If you think I got what you need

Sho' ya right

(I want us to take our time because we have all night)

If you think I'm gonna be good to you

If you think I like what you do

Sho' ya right

(Oh, I'm gonna be so good to you, baby)

(

Woo

) (

Ooh wee, ooh wee, baby

)

If you think I'm gonna take care of you

If you think I got what you need

Sho' ya right

(Let me feel all your secrets)

If you think I'm gonna be good to you

If you think I like what you do

Sho' ya right

(Sho' ya right; baby, you know)

If you think I'm gonna take care of you

If you think I got what you need

Sho' ya right

(How does that feel?)

If you think I'm gonna be good to you

If you think I like what you do

Sho' ya right

(

Oh, oh

Sho' ya right

)

If you think I'm gonna take care of you

If you think I got what you need

Sho' ya right

If you think I'm gonna be good to you

If you think I like what you do

Sho' ya right
