[English]

No other love, no other touch

Gimme, gimme oh so much

Turn me on, turn me on

Won't you please get out of my head?

Get back into my bed now, come kiss me, come with me

'Cause I can't hardly sleep without you

Can't stop thinking 'bout you, girl, I want you, I need you

And I'm ready for love

I'm ready for us to lose control

Oh, you know and I know that

No other love, no other touch

Gimme, gimme oh so much

Turn me on, turn me on

No other kiss, no one like this

Feeling that I can't resist

Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on

I've had my share of lovers

But there is no other girl, you're special, now let's go

'Cause now I want you more than ever

Want to do whatever now to keep you, I need you

And I'm ready for love

I'm ready for us to lose control

Oh, you know and I know that

No other love, no other touch

Gimme, gimme oh so much

Turn me on, turn me on

No other kiss, no one like this

Feeling that I can't resist

Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on

I say your turning me on now

Say you're turning me, oh, oh, oh, on

Say you're turning me on with your smile

To you're lips, to the words of this song I know

I used to say I was too young, now I'm grown up

But I put you where you need that strong, real goodie good loving

Stevie Wonder said it's been so long

And I'mma a give it if you need it are you ready to receive it

Boy, I, I, I, I, I wanna give you some love

I wanna give you some love and affection

You got my attention

See I'm ready for love

I'm ready for us to lose control

Oh, you know and I know that

No other love, no other touch

Gimme, gimme oh so much

Turn me on, turn me on

No other kiss, no one like this

Feeling that I can't resist

Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on
