[English]

I feel so good when I spend all my time with you.

I feel so safe after all we've been going through.

When I'm looking in your eyes I can see that you want me too.

So go on.

I feel so good when I spend all my time with you.

When the night is gonna get to you.

We're gonna scream our love even dance forever.

And I'm gonna be in your group.

I'm gonna dance with you until the night comes to an end.

Hush, hush, baby don't you love me I'm not a cliché.

Hush, hush, baby don't you want us to sway the same way.

Hush, hush, baby it's been a wonderful day and when the night comes near we're gonna leave on replay.

Hush, hush, baby don't you love me I'm not a cliché.

I feel so good it's gonna move me so close to you.

I feel so safe, I could go all the way with you.

When the night is gonna get to you.

We're gonna scream our love, even dance forever.

And I'm gonna be in your groove.

I'm gonna dance with you until the night comes to an end.

Hush, hush, baby don't you love me I'm not a cliché.

Hush, hush, baby don't you want us to sway the same way.

Hush, hush, baby it's been a wonderful day and when the night comes near we're gonna leave on replay.

Hush, hush, baby don't you love me I'm not a cliché.

Hush, hush, baby don't you love me I'm not a cliché.

Hush, hush, baby don't you want us to sway the same way.

Hush, hush, baby it's been a wonderful day and when the night comes near we're gonna leave on replay.

Hush, hush, baby don't you love me I'm not a cliché.
