[English]

Your place or my place, it doesn't matter to me

Your lips, my tongue, they're intertwined

You want us locked in and I'll give you my sympathy

But that's one thing I won't define

So take off your clothes (Clothes)

Unlock your door (Door)

'Cause when I come over

You're gonna get some

I know it's not (Not)

Quite what you want (Want)

Being on call for me

Waiting up for me

But when I want you

I want you all over me

I want you all over me

Your bed or my floor, but don't tell me that you're in love

'Cause I'm not trying to walk the line

And whoever you see, I'm saying is fine with me

'Cause I won't say what I'm doing tonight

You know I've always had a wild heart

And that won't ever change

So when you see me out with someone else

I will not be ashamed

To want you all over me (When I want you)

I want you all over me (When I want you)

I want you all over me (When I want you)

I want you all over me (When I want you)

Walk away from me

Don't talk that way to me

Just trust me

We'll meet in secrecy

After the party

And when you're face to face with me

On your knees, or underneath

I want you all over me (When I want you)

I want you all over me

But when I want you

I want you all over me (When I want you)

I want you all over me (When I want you)
