hi, this song is by an r&b male group. it's a slow song, and was
released sometime within the last 5 years or so, i think.  although i
could be wrong, i don’t think it was hugely popular (like top 40), as
i only heard it on the radio a few times here & there; i never heard
it in regular rotation.  i would like artist & song title; album title
would be helpful, too, if possible.  the parts i remember are:

"i want you to hold me, control me. dim all the lights, baby spend the
nite. ... when the sun starts to fall and the night begins to mellow
out, ... baby i'll be here (there?) for the taking...."


thanx 4 any help!

Please listen to this song and see if it sounds like the right one:

If this is the song you want, I can tell you its name, who recorded
it, the album title, and a place where you can buy either the entire
album or a CD single (the single can be purchased for as little as 75
cents plus shipping.)

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you about the title and
artist of this song, but I do have sympathy -- I have the song on a
tape I made off the radio in the mid-90s, and I've been trying to find
out those answers for some time now. I just wanted to post a few
things that may be of use in some way...the song samples the hook (not
the lyrics) from 'What You Won't Do for Love' by Bobby Caldwell, if
that helps jog anyone's memory or can provide a lead of some sort.
Also, someone else was asking about this song on the forum of a site
called Anthems.com last month. Though no one's answered the question,
keep an eye on it, you never know. Here's a link to the post:

Here are the lyrics:


[chorus]:

I want you to hold me, control me

Dim all the lights, baby spend the night

I want you to hold me, control me

Dim all the lights, baby spend the night


I know what you're thinking, I'm feeling the same way too
I wanna be next to you until the early morning 
Baby spend the night, I'll make you feel so right
And I promise you that girl, I'll keep it coming

When the sun starts to fall and the night begins to mellow out
Baby I'll be here for the taking
Lady I'll be right here, so have no fear

[chorus]

You know what I need girl
So give it to me now
Bring my love on down
Fulfill my fantasies
Baby take me higher, set my soul on fire
'Cause you know the answer, oh yeah

When the sun starts to fall, and the night begins to mellow out
Baby I'll be here for the taking
Lady I'll be right here, so have no fear

[chorus]

When the sun starts to fall and the night begins to mellow out
Baby I'll be here for the taking
Lady I'll be right here, so have no fear

[chorus]

hey artgroupie,

OMG!  i about fell over outta my chair!  finally--someone else who at
least HEARD the song at some point in time!  cuz up until now, it
seemed like i was the only one in the world! :-)  {lotsa blank stares}
 and not only that, but u even gave me some extra info & -WOW!!- all
the lyrix!  thank you SO much!  i really appreciate it!!  i'll keep
watching the anthems site.  also, i'm gonna repost the question on
here-using the add'l info u gave me, as well as the info the person
from anthems remembered.  plus, now that i have all the lyrix, i can
repost in a couple of other places, too.

once again, thanx 4 all the info.  keep an eye out for my repost to
see if anyone answers.

you are great! :-)

You are very welcome.:-) I didn't do that great of a job with the
lyrics -- there's a spoken intro to the song that I didn't include,
and the singer does some vamping around that's a bit difficult to
transcribe, but it's all basically there. I also wanted to add, in
reference to the poster at Anthems.com who thought that the song might
perhaps be by a local Detroit group -- the radio station that I taped
the song from is here in Northern California, so even if the
singer/group was from Michigan, there was national airplay happening.

I'm pulling for you, vinsvixen2! :-)
