It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me Lyrics

Barry White

When we met, it wasnt quite clear to me
What you had in store was there for only me
Silly, you know you took me by surprise
Then I turned and looked, I saw that message in your eye

There you were, I fell on the floor
The way you move, girl, only made me want you more
I did not know you had me hypnotized
Theres a movement of your body dancin in my eyes

I know I had to hold you and make you mine
Dont want to control you just to have a good time
In ecstasy when youre layin down next to me
Oh, no, no, ecstasy, yeah, when youre layin down next to me

I find it hard for me to concentrate
If I dont make my move, girl, it might be too late
Ive got to make sure you dont get away
After all you done, girl, to make me wanna stay

All my life Ive been searchin for a star
Now my search is over and here we are
Livin in ecstasy, yeah, when you lay down next to me, yeah
Here in ecstasy, when youre layin down next to me

I wanna hold you and make you mine
Dont want to control you just to have a good time
Livin in ecstasy, well, when youre layin down next to me
Ooh! ooh! wee, ecstasy, when youre layin here with me, uh-huh

In this ecstasy when you are here with me, yeah
Oh, its ecstasy, Lord knows when youre next to me, yeah
