[English]

Champagne with strawberries, when I pop, I blow the roof off

Baby, tell me everything that’s hurt you before

Tonight, the moon will pass by the sun

Baby, you shine on me

And your arms, baby, wrap around my neck

Darling, it’s beautiful, darling made of gold

Tell me which language you want us to make love in

Let’s talk, talk openly

Kiss me, make love, give me pleasure

(Pleasure, give me pleasure)

Call my name, baby, give me pleasure

(Pleasure, give me pleasure)

Kiss me, make love, give me pleasure

(Pleasure, give me pleasure)

Call my name, baby, give me pleasure

Call my name, I beg you

My baby, call my name

You’re in control (you’re in control)

You’re in control (you’re in control)

Call my name, I beg you

My baby, call my name

You’re in control, you’re in control, baby

Open your belly, seek honey (seek honey)
