Do you have a job for me?
Look for anything that
Keeps me close to you
I can stroke your hair
I watch your sleep, I don't know
I might even taste your kiss
To see if the beard will scratch me
I can be the inspector of your gaze
No need to pay
I grab your towel
For when you get out of the shower
I can be the guinea pig
For when you make your plans
When you're going to kiss someone
Test that kiss on me
Before loving my dear
Test that love on me
When you're going to kiss someone
Test that kiss on me
Before loving my dear
Test that love on me
Hold me, hug me, and don't leave
I accept this job as a guinea pig
Hold me, hug me, and don't leave
I accept this job as a guinea pig
Come
Maiara and Maraisa
Oh Luana, let's just accept this job as a guinea pig, come on
I grab your towel
For when you get out of the shower
I can be the guinea pig
For when you make your plans
When you're going to kiss someone
Test that kiss on me
Before loving my dear
Test that love on me
When you're going to kiss someone
Test that kiss on me
Before loving my dear
Test that love on me
Hold me, hug me, and don't leave
I accept this job as a guinea pig
Hold me, hug me, and don't leave
I accept this job as a guinea pig
