Turn your lights down low
Baixe as suas luzes,
And pull your window curtains
E puxe as cortinas da janela.
Oh, let your moon come shining in
Oh, deixa a sua lua brilhar,
Into our life again
Em nossas vidas de novo.
Saying, oh, it's been a long, long, long time
Dizendo, oh, faz tanto, tanto tempo.
I kept this message for you, girl
Eu guardei essa mensagem pra você, garota.
But it seems I was never on time
Mas parece que eu nunca estive a tempo.
Still I wanna get through to you, girl
Ainda quero me conectar com você, garota.
On time, on time
A tempo, a tempo.
I want to give you some love
Eu quero te dar amor.
(Good, good loving)
(Good, good loving)
I want to give you some good, good loving
I want to give you some good, good loving
(Good, good loving)
(Good, good loving)
Oh I, oh I, oh I
Oh I, oh I, oh I
I want to give you some good, good loving
I want to give you some good, good loving
(Good, good loving)
(Good, good loving)
Turn your lights down low
Turn your lights down low
Never, never try to resist, oh no
Never, never try to resist, oh no
Oh, let my love come tumbling in
Oh, let my love come tumbling in
Into our life again
Into our life again
Saying, oh, I love you
Saying, oh, I love you
And I want you to know right now
And I want you to know right now
Ooh, I love you
Ooh, I love you
And I want you to know right now
And I want you to know right now
'Cause I, that I
'Cause I, that I
I want to give you some love
I want to give you some love
I want to give you some good, good loving
I want to give you some good, good loving
I want to give you some love
I want to give you some love
I want to give you some good, good loving
I want to give you some good, good loving
Turn your lights down low
Turn your lights down low
Never, never try to resist, oh no
Never, never try to resist, oh no
Oh, let my love come tumbling in
Oh, let my love come tumbling in
Into our life again
Into our life again
Turn your lights down low
Turn your lights down low
Never, never try to resist, oh no
Never, never try to resist, oh no
Oh, let my love come tumbling in
Oh, let my love come tumbling in
Into our life again
Into our life again
Turn, turn, turn your lights down low
Turn, turn, turn your lights down low
