lyrics

If you want a little pressure
If you want a little steam
You’ve been drinking too much coffee
Using alcohol for cream

I won’t tell you no lies
I still get lost in your eyes

Now if you should buy me diamonds
Beautiful and cold
A bracelet made of silver
Or a necklace made of gold

It takes more than the toys
To separate the men from the boys

Lay a little bit of love on me
The way you move so gracefully
Lay a little bit of love on me, yeah
Lay a little bit of love on me
You come and go so easily
Lay a little bit of love on me, yeah.

I can feel you trembling
The rhythm in your hips
And though your mouth is moving
No sound escapes your lips

I think you know what I mean
Your signals yellow and green
