Stay away from my window Stay away from my back door too Disconnect the telephone line Relax baby and draw that blind... C'mon, angel, my heart's on fire Don't deny your man's desire You'd be a fool to stop this time Spread your wings and let me come inside And, finally: Don't say a word, my virgin child [Just looked up the lyrics and discovered that "time" is actually "tide," but I like my version better...5 percent more rapey.] I realize this makes me sound old, but: Rod Stewart, "Tonight's the Night."

Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind...

C'mon, angel, my heart's on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this time
Spread your wings and let me come inside

And, finally:

Don't say a word, my virgin child

[Just looked up the lyrics and discovered that "time" is actually "tide," but I like my version better...5 percent more rapey.]
