  • My darling, oooo darling
    How long I have waited for you
    Need your touch
    Love me? How much?
    Just trust me
    We both knew this would be

    Darling, ohh darling
    Darling, you are first
    Your touching, ohh I'm blushing
    You're my water that quenches my thirst

    I felt you near, and now you're here
    Kissed from above
    Darling, this is our love
    My open arms
    I'm waiting here, to be held close
    Let go of all of your fears

    My darling, ohh darling
    Honey, you are first
    Your touching, ooooo I'm blushing
    You're my water that quenches my thirst

    I know who you are
    I understand
    I love what I see
    A prince, and king of a man
    Unopened doors
    Darling, if you're mine, I am yours

    My darling, oooo darling
    How long I've waited for you
    I need your touch
    Love me? How much?
    Just trust me
    We both knew that this would be

    We're holding on
    Darling, be strong
    A mountain climb
    Can be rocky sometime
    An equal love
    We hold so dear
    It is real my love
    oooo I wish you were here
    My darling ooo darling
    You are, you are, worth waiting for
    With every taste I want more
    You sho' make my life sweet
    This is no trick
    Ooooo I am your treat
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah I am, oooo I am your treat

    Love you deeply, so completely
    Stop risking everything
    Baby damn
    You don't have to,
    It's beneath you
    You don't realize
    You are and I am
    ummm you are and I am
    Darling darling oooo darling I'm so glad you're here Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
