I’ll play your favorite song, darlin’
We can rock it all night long, darlin’
‘Cause I’ve got love, darlin’
Love, sweet love, darlin’
Mellow mood has got me
So let the music rock me
‘Cause I’ve got love, darlin’
Love, sweet love, darlin’
Quiet as the night
Please turn off your light
I’ll play your favorite song, darlin’
We can rock it all night long, darlin’
Strike the hammer while iron is hot
Strike the hammer while iron is hot
Strike the hammer while iron is hot
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
Let love come running in, darlin’
Love, sweet love, darlin’
Love, sweet love, darlin’
Strike the hammer while iron is hot
Strike the hammer while iron is hot
Strike the hammer while iron is hot
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
Let love come running in, darlin’
Love, sweet love, darlin’
Love, sweet love, darlin’
Mellow mood has got me, darlin’
Let the music rock me, darlin’
‘Cause I got your love, darlin’
Love, sweet love, darlin’
Love, sweet love, darlin’
Love, sweet love, darlin’
