Hold my hand, my dear, hold it gently or it will hurt!
Come to me, I agree, oh my, you are like the god of love!
Hold my hand, my dear, hold it gently or it will hurt!
Come to me, I agree, oh my, you are like the god of love!
If I try to step away, you show your fierce tiger side,
And you make butterflies flutter deep inside my stomach...
Hey, hold my hand, my dear, hold it gently or it will hurt!
Come to me, I agree, oh my, you are like the god of love!
Hey, hold my hand, my dear, hold it gently or it will hurt!
Come to me, I agree, oh my, you are like the god of love!
It has been days since the wedding pipes were played,
Come, let us celebrate our wedding night today!
As passion stirs and all shyness slips away,
Tonight is truly our sleepless night of love!
On this bed, the stories of love
Must be read until the morning light!
I will playfully leap and embrace my sweetheart,
Showering you with hundreds of sweet kisses, hey!
Hey, hold my hand, my dear, hold it gently or it will hurt!
Come to me, I agree, oh my, you are like the god of love!
Touching this rosebud softly,
Caress it gently without causing any pain.
Touching me and holding my golden shoulders,
As we intertwine with endless desire,
As you offer potfuls of sweet honey,
And I take in everything you give,
My body is like parched land that has found water,
My darling, I am completely yours, hey!
Hey, hold my hand, my dear, hold it gently or it will hurt!
Come to me, I agree, oh my, you are like the god of love!
Hold my hand, my dear, hold it gently or it will hurt!
Come to me, I agree, oh my, you are like the god of love!
