Lyrics:
With you , baby I’m satisfied, making my love to you‘Cause you got me hypnotizedAnd you came to me alone girlI was a heart that’s made of stone girl
And you broke it down in piecesAnd you took me for your own girlI lie beneath your ecstasyYou can pour it all over me
I won’t break the chains of loving youWe got everything , anybody needsAnd it’s here with me, with youBaby, I’m satisfied, makin’ my love to you
‘Cause you got me hypnotizedBefore you took me by the hand girlI was a statue in the sand girl
I was broken down for reasonsYou could never understand girlI was living on desireBut that was just the way we were
‘Til you make a world of love in youWe got everything , anybody needsAnd it’s here with me, with youBaby, I’m satisfied, making my love to you
‘Cause you got me hypnotizedAnytime you wander, get yourself back to me girlAny cloud you’re under, you got to get yourself free girlAhh, ahh, baby, with you
Baby I’m satisfied , making’ my love to you‘Cause you got me hypnotized, oh baby, with you (Repeat)
