Babe, you're getting closer, the lights are going dim
The sound of your breathin', has made the mood I'm in
All of my resistance lying on the floor
Taking me to places I've never been before


* Ooh, well I can feel it (feel it), feel it (feel it),
feel it (feel it), feel it (feel it)
(Way down) way down where the music plays
(Way down) way down like a tidal wave
(Way down) way down where the fire flames
Way down, down, (way way on down)


Ooh my head is spinnin', you got me in your spell
A hundred magic fingers, a swirling carousel
Medicine within me, no doctor could prescribe
Love is doing something that I just can't describe


* Repeat


Hold me again as tight as you can, I need you so, baby let's go
(Way down) way down where it feels so good,
(Way down) way down where I hoped it would
(Way down) way down where I never could, way down, down, way, way on down
(Way on down) (way on down)

[C]Ooh, my head is spinnin', you got me in your spell,
