Come on closer
I wanna show you
What I'd like to do
You sit back now
Just relax now
I'll take care of you

Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

Gonna take it slow babe
Do it my way
Keep your eyes on me
Your reaction
To my action
Is what I want to see

Rhythmic motion
Raw emotion
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

And now you're satisfied
A twinkle in your eye
Go to sleep for ten
And anticipating
I will be waiting
For you to wake again

Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

A sultry vocalist and she's also a producer.  If she were to ever collaborate with Shirley Manson, then surely I could die listening to that bliss.

Though, actually, I'm not entirely sure its a real guitar.  It "feels" like a scratch DJ or producer playing with a loop.

I like voice - a lot. Her lyrics are her own and I like them too. With the production style it all works - for me.

Yeah, no kidding! Sounds like Brittney meets Mary J. meets some slick producer/ label in a marketing strategy-induced dream... but it does have a groove; though understandably hard to respect...

It's not Grey's...it was used in commercials for "Desperate Housewives" in the first season. She has a very sexy sound. Most of the other songs on the album are more poppy. I wish the album was more like this song.

I first heard Jem on RP last year and wanted more -unfortunately the album was not available in the UK, so when I was in the States I bought it. Since then I have played it loads and I never tire of her voice (but then, I am a girl!!). Coincidently, the album has just been released in the UK and I think that "They" is the first single - a great choice :nodhead: \:D/

When I first heard Jem, I thought she had a wonderful voice that reminded me a lot of Dido. I saw the CD on sale for under 10 dollars, and thought, sure, I'll get that. Well, the first time I listened to it I loved it. The second time, it was ok, and the third time, I was bored with it and gave it to my girlfriend. She does have a nice sound, but her lyrics are a bit on the uninspired side. I agree though, lose the hip hop lyrics, jam with some instruments a bit, and open up some with the lyrics and she would be amazing. This was probably my favorite song on the CD.
I'll bet your girlfrined was happy to get a CD you deemed too boring for your own collection. :-) I actually feel the same way about the album, but I wasn't thrilled with this song much.
