[English]

I wanna dance 'til my body ache

A little bit longer

Turn you on, make you radiate

A little bit stronger

I wanna dance 'til my body ache

Show you how I want ya

Show you how I want ya

Show you how I want ya

Show you how I want ya

'Til my body ache

...

On a whole another level

You got a one way ticket

I got you, wearin' hooker

You wanna kick it, kick it

Start up a riot, riot

We going down, down

I'm all up on ya, on ya

You want it, don't ya, don't ya?

I wanna dance 'til my body ache

A little bit longer

Turn you on, make you radiate

A little bit stronger

I wanna dance 'til my body ache

Show you how I want ya

Show you how I want ya

Show you how I want ya

Show you how I want ya

'Til my body ache

...

I know you feel my fire

Throw you into my flame

Tonight we take it higher

What I got, ain't no game

Won't stop 'til you prepare me

There'll be no turning back

I'm all up on ya, on ya

You want it, don't ya, don't ya?

You make my body ache

You make my (body ache), you make my

You make my body ache

You make my body ache

You make my body ache

You make my body ache

You make my body ache

You make my body ache

You make my body ache

You make my body ache

You make my body ache

You make my body ache

You make my body ache

You make my body ache

I wanna dance 'til my body ache

A little bit longer

Turn you on, make you irradiate

A little bit stronger

I wanna dance 'til my body ache

Show you how I want ya

Show you how I want ya

Show you how I want ya

Show you how I want ya

'Til my body ache

'Til my body ache

...
