Best damn song in the world

I've got a playlist on my iPod that makes me feel the way I would feel if I were with the man that I want to be with. (It's important to have such things when working with the law of attraction.) It is mostly Hawaiian music, with a couple of my own compositions thrown in for good measure. This song, which just made it onto the list, pretty much says it all from the guy's point of view. I love the language, and the not-subtle sexual innuendo.

So yeah, I didn't write this one. Sue me. ;P My favorite version of it is by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, and can be gotten on iTunes; go download it! (That particular version makes me giggle like a fool because he changes the lyrics a bit, it goes "Our lips have met, our eyes not yet, you make me wet :D for you and I!" If he were a woman, I'd not enjoy that verse nearly as much.
