[Intro]
When I'm yearning, baby
When I feel like being alone
Can I call on you, when I'm yearning, baby?
[Verse 1]
It's been a while now since I saw your smile
So here's an invitation for you and I tonight
I'll do what you want me to do - ask for me, I'm yours
I won't be afraid, boo, so come fulfill my needs
[Pre-Chorus]
(So, love) Ooh, let's set the mood right
(Tonight) Ooh, it's love by candlelight
(So good) So good is the way I feel inside
Your touch, your love, what I'm thinking of
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
When the night falls a little closer, it's time for a little bit of lovin'
Can I call on you, when I'm yearning, baby?
When I feel like being alone (Oh yeah)
If I wanna take control (Oh yeah)
Can I call on you, when I'm yearning, baby?
[Verse 2]
Ooh, anticipation, it happens every time
Whether it be soon or later when your body touches mine
I have limitations, and I need to reach my destination
And I need to reach my destination
Will you help me get there, baby? Woo
[Pre-Chorus]
(So, love) So love, let's set the mood right
(Tonight) Ooh, it's love by candlelight
(So good) So good is the way I feel inside
Your touch, your love, what I'm thinking of, hey, hey
[Chorus]
When the night falls a little closer (So close), it's time for a little bit of lovin'
(A little bit of lovin')
Can I call on you, when I'm yearning, baby?
When I feel like being alone (Alone)
If I wanna take control (Control)
Can I call on you, when I'm yearning, baby?
[Bridge]
See, I'm yearning, baby
Can I call on you tonight?
(Can I call on you, when I'm yearning, baby?)
[Chorus]
When I feel like being alone (Alone)
If I wanna take control (Control)
Can I call on you, when I'm yearning, baby? (Baby)
[Bridge]
Hey (When I'm yearning, baby)
Hoo, I'm yearning (So good)
You are so good, oh (When I'm yearning, baby)
Yearning, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
When the night falls a little closer, it's time for a little bit of lovin'
(It's time)
Can I call on you (Can I call on you, ooh, I'm, I'm yearning)
When I feel like being alone (Alone)
If I wanna take control (Control)
Can I call on you? (Mmm, I'm yearning, baby)
When I'm yearning, baby
When the night falls a little closer, it's time for a little bit of lovin'
(Hoo, hoo, hey)
Can I call on you, when I'm yearning, baby?
When I feel like being alone
If I wanna take control
Can I call on you, when I'm yearning, baby
When the night falls a little closer
