[English]

I like the way, oh

That you talk to me

I like the way, oh

That you scream my name, baby

I don't know how

But I know you're the one

I'm standing my ground

Not when I used to run

It feels like a dream

But I know that I'm up

I'm up all night

All night with you

I don't feel like dancing with nobody else

It don't feel romantic with nobody else

Can't you see that baby

I don't want nobody else but you

I don't feel like dancing with nobody else

It don't feel romantic with nobody else

Can't you see that baby

I don't want nobody else but you

I like the way you breathe

When you're close to me, ooh

I like the way your hair falls across your face

Mmm yeah

I don't know how

But I know you're the one

I'm standing my ground

Not when I used to run

It feels like a dream

But I know that I'm up

I'm up all night

All night with you

I don't feel like dancing with nobody else

It don't feel romantic with nobody else (No, no, no)

Can't you see that baby

I don't want nobody else but you

I don't feel like dancing with nobody else

It don't feel romantic with nobody else

Can't you see that baby

I don't want nobody else but you

No I can't help it

I want some more

Somehow I know

That you won't let go

I don't know better

I lose control

I think I might love you

I like the way, oh

That you talk to me girl

Ooh, I like the way you keep me up

I'm up all night

All night with you (Oh)

I don't feel like dancing with nobody else (I don't feel like)

It don't feel romantic with nobody else (No, no, no)

Can't you see that baby

I don't want nobody else but you (You)

I don't feel like dancing with nobody else (I don't feel like)

It don't feel romantic with nobody else (It don't feel romantic)

Can't you see that baby

I don't want nobody else but you
