{Album Notes}

I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back these feelings for so long
And if you feel, like I feel baby
Then come on, oh come on

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

We're all sensitive people
With so much love to give, understand me sugar
Since we got to be, let's say, I love you
There's nothin' wrong with me lovin' you, baby no no
And givin' yourself to me can never be wrong if the love is true, oh baby

Don't you know how sweet and wonderful, life can be
I'm askin' you baby, to get it on with me
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 beatin' round the bush

Let's get it on, 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, let's get it on, baby
This minute, oh yeah
Let's get it on please, let's get it on
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on darlin'
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
Oh, get it on come on, baby
Do you know the meaning? I've been sanctified
Girl, you give me good feeling, so good, I've been sanctified
