We got this king-size to ourselves
Don’t have to share with no one else
Don’t keep your secrets to yourself
It’s Kama Sutra show and tell, yeah
Refrain: Charlie Puth
Woah-oh-oh-oh
There’s lovin’ in your eyes that pulls me closer

I’m in trouble (I’m in trouble)
But I’d love to be in trouble with you

Until the dawn, let’s Marvin Gaye and get it on

I just want you for my own
I got to have you, babe

Woah-oh-oh-oh
There’s lovin’ in your eyes that pulls me closer

But I’d rather be in trouble with you
