Love You Gently is the 9th track on my playlist, The Best R&B Ever. This song is not intended for young audiences. It’s for grown people to do what grown people do. Usher’s vocal talent has been evident for decades. He has a ton of tracks that I like. However, I included this song on the playlist because the banter of the lead and background vocals is genius for this track. It’s very flirtatious and a perfect arrangement for foreplay. That’s the entire point of the song.
First, see the city skylights
Shining from my room
It’s such a sight to see
In the month of June
Beautiful like the moon’s reflection
When it’s passin’ off your skin
And before you let me in
I hear you say
(It’s been a long time)
I say okay, K, K
Don’t worry, I got you
Do ya say
(How bout some foreplay?)
Got that, got plenty
I got you
Do ya say
(Play some slow ones)
Got that Sade, Al Green
And Marvin Gaye too
(To love you gently)
To love you gently
Ooo, let me love you, oh (Let me touch you gently)
Lay back, relax, girl
I’ma be (Light as a feather, but hard as a rock)
‘Cause daddy know just what you like
Gonna love you, gonna love you, baby (Gonna love you gently)
Gentle with ya, baby
Oh (Light as a feather, but hard as a rock)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
See I know just when to finish
And I know just when to start
And I’ll be lovin’ your reaction
Every time I hit that spot
(Gently)
Bottom soft like leather
(Gently)
But the top is hard
(Gently)
Whisper your pleasures
(Gently)
Then I’ll do my job
Invigorating, intense
Girl, let me do what I do
I don’t know what’s echoing louder
The music or you
(Gently)
I ain’t close to be done yet
(Gently)
But your gettin’ real warm
(Gently)
Like the calm of the thunder
(Gently)
Right after the storm
You say, you say, do you say it, girl? ( Make it repeat)
Oh, gonna push it to the limit
Ooh (It’s yours, it’s yours)
See second place or win the race
I’m gonna be your number one
(‘Til the sun shines) Oh
Here comes the sun
(Forever more) Let’s try to chase the moon again forever
(Let me touch you gently) Oh
That’s the sound of love
Rippin’ shades off the wall
(Light as a feather, but hard as a rock)
Ooh, this might not be in the bedroom
But I’m gonna love you, girl, gently (I’m gonna love you gently)
Ooh ( Light as a feather, but hard as a rock) I love you
Hard as a rock, hard as a rock
(Let me touch you gently) Oh, yeah
Wanna love you, wanna love you, oh (Light as a feather, but hard as a rock)
(Gonna love you gently) I love you gently, oh, oh, baby, oh, baby
(Light as a feather, but hard as a rock)
Ooh, can you feel me, girl?
We don’t need no room
All we need is me and you
Wanna love you
Follow Me
