Title Take me in your arms and love me
Lyrictext

Ooh...ooh...

The moon above is shining bright
Come on, boy, the time is right
Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and just love me, ooh

There’s a mist of ecstasy
That’s flowing over me
Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and just love me, oh, baby

My love is new, my love is sweet
Now’s the time that I’ll be sweet
Hold me, boy, don’t hesitate
I need you now, don’t make me wait

You’re the one that I adore
Tell me what are you waiting for
Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and love me, ooh

Boy, I’m hungry for your love
Give me what I’m in need of
Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and just love me

Oh, baby, come let’s share the joy and splendor
Of this matter warm and tender
Hold me tight, kiss me long
Make this night one sweet song

(Love me, love me) Ooh, sugar

My eager heart is pounding fast
Don’t lose the feeling, make it last
Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and just love me

Oh, baby, take me higher with the touch
That thrills me darling, oh, so much
Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and love me, baby, baby

This feeling is strong hard
Any second now I’ll explode
Now’s the time, now’s the time
Take all of this love of mine
Love me, love me, love me, love me, come on and love me

I’ll be true to you
Do what you want me to
Take me in your arms, take me in your arms and love me, oh, baby
I’ll be true to you
And do what you want me to
Take me in your arms, take me in your arms and love me, baby, baby, baby

I’ll be true to you
And do what you want me to
