In That Right Place
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
When you touch me in that right place,
Babe.
I want as if to need,
To be all over you.
When you touch me,
In the right place, babe.
Expect anything from me I may do.
Quick.
You make my temperature rise.
And, I can not excuse,
The obvious to you.
You've got me crowing like a rooster,
To get inside your cage.
Well before dawn and weakened into craze.
When you touch me,
Be easy slow and gentle.
I'm not going away.
When you touch me,
Let's pretend we're sentimental not in lust!
When you touch me.
