Hey, girl, ain't no mystery
At least as far as I can see
I wanna keep you here layin' next to me
Sharin' our love between the sheets
Ooh, baby, baby
I feel your love surrounding me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ooh, ooh, baby, baby
Makin' love between the sheets
Ooh, girl, let me hold you tight
And you know, I'll make you feel alright
Ooh, baby girl, just cling to me and let your mind be free
While makin' love between the sheets
Ooh, girl, I'll love you all night long
And I know you felt it comin' on
Ooh, darlin', just taste my love, ooh, you taste so sweet
Sharin' our love between the sheets
Ooh, baby, baby
I feel your love surrounding me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ooh, baby, baby
We're makin' love between the sheets
Hey, girl, what's your fantasy?
I'll take you there, to that ecstasy
Ooh, girl, you blow my mind, I'll always be your freak
Let's make sweet love between the sheets
Ooh, baby, baby
I feel your love surrounding me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ooh, baby, baby
Makin' love between the sheets
Ooh, baby, baby
I feel your love surrounding me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ooh, baby, baby
Makin' love between the sheets
Enough of the singin', let's make love
In between the sheets
Oh, I like the way you receive me (Receive me, receive me)
Girl, I love the way you relieve me
I'm comin', comin' on strong (Comin' on strong, comin' on strong)
(Sweet darlin') In between the sheets
Oh, I like the way you receive me (Receive me, receive me)
Girl, I love the way you relieve me
Comin', comin' on strong (Comin' on strong)
(Sweet darlin') In between the sheets
You got me moanin'
Girl, you got me groanin'
I'm comin', comin' on strong
(Sweet darlin') In between the sheets
Let's get all the way down
Turn it over
I'm comin', comin', comin', comin', comin' on strong
(Sweet darlin') In between the sheets
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

The Isley Brothers were an American family group whose sound spanned doo-wop, gospel-driven rock ’n’ roll, soul-pop, and funk. Formed in Cincinnati in 1954 and relocating to New York, they became known for hits like “Shout,” “Twist and Shout,” and “It’s Your Thing,” and for Ronald Isley’s lead vocals and Ernie Isley’s guitar.
