Don't ever let me take you for granted
You've got your finger on the pulse of my soul
Mmm, let me place a kiss in the small of your back
Love and protect you from the evils of this world

Mmm, baby don't ever leave me stranded
Who ever said that the streets were paved with gold?
Well I'm afraid that we're all sadly mistaken
There's nothing here till we have someone to hold

Mmm, I love you with all the joy of living
Till the lights go down in New York City
It's a special love affair
There's magic in the air

You've gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses

If love wasn't here would we reinvent it?
Mmm, take me down to the very root of my soul
Mmm, baby say it as if you really mean it
And feel the passion work its way up through your skin

Mmm, I love you with all the joy of living
Till the lights go down in New York City
It's a special love affair
There's magic in the air

You've gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses

Let me take you by the hand
And we can go and find a brand new world
Star light, star bright
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you to a safe place in this world

You've gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses
