[Intro: Barry White, Al B. Sure!]
Tell me a secret
I don't just wanna know about any secret of yours
I wanna know about one special secret (Oh)
Because tonight I want to learn all about the secrets in your garden
[Verse 1: Al B. Sure!]
I wanna read your mind
Know your deepest feelings
I wanna make it right for you
Baby, show me
Let me share the mystery, oh
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Listen to your heart tonight
(Come on, come on, come on)
Make it alright, yeah
(Come on, come out tonight)
[Verse 2: James Ingram]
I know a melody that we could sing together
I've got the secret key to you, baby
Let's make music, harmonizing ecstasy
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Come on and sing it to me
[Chorus: All, James Ingram, El DeBarge]
Here in the garden, where temptation feels so right
(Passion can make you fall for what you feel)
In the garden (Woo, ooh), we can make it come alive
(We can make it come alive)
Every night (Every single night), oh, woman
(Your secret garden, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh hoo ooh)
(Oh baby)
[Verse 3: El DeBarge]
I need to be with you
Let me lay beside you
Do what you want me to all night
Gonna hold you, ooh baby, can I touch you there?
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
I can keep you satisfied, baby
(Come on, come on, come on)
Ooh wee, ooh wee, baby; please, baby, all night
(Come on, come out tonight)
[Verse 4: Barry White]
Yeah, baby
I'll take good care of you
That's what a man is supposed to do
And I'll be there for you all the time
Let your hair down, let me get you in the mood
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Take me with you
[Chorus: All, El DeBarge]
Into the garden, where temptation feels so right
(Passion can make you fall for what you feel)
In the garden, we can make it come alive
Every night, oh, woman
(Here in the garden)
[Interlude: Barry White]
You know I've never wanted anyone
I've never wanted anyone as much as I
As much as I want you
I want you to show me
I want you to tell me how you feel
All the secrets
[Outro: All, Barry White, El DeBarge, James Ingram]
If you think I'm gonna take care of you
If you think I got what you need
Sho' ya right
(I want us to take our time because we have all night)
If you think I'm gonna be good to you
If you think I like what you do
Sho' ya right
(Oh, I'm gonna be so good to you, baby)
(Woo) (Ooh wee, ooh wee, baby)
If you think I'm gonna take care of you
If you think I got what you need
Sho' ya right
(Let me feel all your secrets)
If you think I'm gonna be good to you
If you think I like what you do
Sho' ya right
(Sho' ya right; baby, you know)
If you think I'm gonna take care of you
If you think I got what you need
Sho' ya right
(How does that feel?)
If you think I'm gonna be good to you
If you think I like what you do
Sho' ya right
(Oh, oh) (Sho' ya right)
If you think I'm gonna take care of you
If you think I got what you need
Sho' ya right
(Turn the lights down)
If you think I'm gonna be good to you
If you think I like what you do
Sho' ya right
