Lyrics

I've been really trying, baby

Trying to hold back this feeling for so long

And if you feel like I feel, baby

Then come on, oh, come on, ooh

Let's get it on, ow, baby

Let's get it on, let's love, baby

Let's get it on, sugar

Let's get it on, woo

We're all sensitive people with so much to give

Understand me, sugar

Since we got to be here, let's live, I love you

There's nothing wrong with me loving you, baby, no, no

And giving yourself to me can never be wrong

If the love is true, oh, baby, ooh

Now don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be? Ooh, ooh

I'm asking you, baby, to get it on with me, ooh, ooh, ooh

I ain't gonna worry, I ain't gonna push, I won't push you, baby

So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby

Stop beating 'round the bush, hey

Let's get it on, ooh, ooh, let's get it on

You know what I'm talkin' 'bout

Come on, baby, hey, let your love come out

If you believe in love

Let's get it on, ooh, let's get it on, baby

This minute, oh yeah, let's get it on

Please, let's get it on, hey, hey

I know you know what I been dreamin' of, don't you, baby?

My whole body wants that feelin' of love, oh, help me, woo

I ain't gonna worry, no, I ain't gonna push

I won't push you, baby, woo

Come on, come on, come on, come on, darling

Stop beatin' 'round the bush

Oh, gonna get it on, threatenin' you, baby

I wanna get it on

You don't have to worry that it's wrong

If the spirit moves you

Let me groove you good

Let your love come down

Oh, get it on, come on, baby

Do you know the meaning of being sanctified? Hey, hey

Girl, you give me good feeling, so good, somethin' like sanctified

Oh, do right, baby

Nothing wrong with love

If you want to love me, just let yourself go

Oh baby, let's get it on right now
