I love the feel of this tune. And it's probably got the best bridge section I've ever written. I would love to hear Van Morrison do this one. Or Barry White.

lyrics

Darling lay down beside me
I’m going to make this clear
I was meant to love you
The summer time is here
And the temperature is rising
Lover show no fear
That’s the way
That’s the way
That’s loving by design

Oh when I hear your name
Feels like the sun after a sudden rain
I love it when you move like that
I’ll never be the same
And the temperature is rising
You know what to reveal
That’s the way
That’s the way
That’s loving by design

Looking down on the scene below
Eric Clapton on the stereo
I feel so lucky for what I have
You and I
Are on solid ground

See the busy office workers
Heading home for the day
They don’t know (they don’t know)
What I feel
I kinda like it that way
And the temperature is rising
You and I are in the zone
That’s the way
That’s loving by design
Loving by design
Loving by design
