This sweet trance that came over me today
Takes me away to so many places
This sweet trance that came over me today
Takes me away to so many places
As my silky body bounces like a ball
You must come near and gently hold me close
As my silky body bounces like a ball
You must come near and gently hold me close
This sweet trance that came over me today
Takes me away to so many places
This sweet trance that came over me today
Takes me away to so many places
Wherever you come and whatever joy you bring
You must give it right there, staying with me like my shadow
Writing sweet rhythms all over my body
I must receive that joy as your gift
Wherever you come and whatever joy you bring
You must give it right there, staying with me like my shadow
Writing sweet rhythms all over my body
I must receive that joy as your gift
Gathering me up in your hands like a flower
Holding me close, body to body
Leaving five or six sweet love marks on me
Write a song of joy inside my heart
Write a song of joy inside my heart
This sweet trance that came over me today
Takes me away to so many places
This sweet trance that came over me today
Takes me away to so many places
Opening without a knock
Giving without being asked
Isn't my young heart yours forever?
Staying awake through the night
Yearning for your companionship
Isn't this woman's heart your bed of flowers?
Opening without a knock
Giving without being asked
Isn't my young heart yours forever?
Staying awake through the night
Yearning for your companionship
Isn't this woman's heart your bed of flowers?
You can have it without a single word
You can come looking for this heaven
You can shower me with three hundred kisses
And say half of them belong to me
And say half of them belong to me
This sweet trance that came over me today
Takes me away to so many places
This sweet trance that came over me today
Takes me away to so many places
As my silky body bounces like a ball
You must come near and gently hold me close
As my silky body bounces like a ball
You must come near and gently hold me close
This sweet trance that came over me today
Takes me away to so many places
This sweet trance that came over me today
Takes me away to so many places
