[English]

D-dirty little

D-d-d-dirty little

3 a.m., you make up an excuse and then you leave your friends

You wake up in the morning then you leave again

I didn't even kick you out (Out)

So baby, tell the truth

Can we just be honest? I'm not claiming you

And every time I ask, you got an attitude

I promise that I'll keep it down (Down)

I'll be your dirty little secret

Promise I can keep it

Put your legs up to the ceiling

Oh baby, what a feeling

And if you see me out in public (If you see me out in public)

Baby, just keep walking (Just keep walking, but)

You can call me on the weekend (You can call me on the weekend)

Your dirty little secret (Your dirty little secret)

(I could be your little)

(Your dirty little)

(Your dirty little)

(I could be your little)

(I could be your, oh)

Hold on

I'm trying not to fall in love, but hold on

Or maybe I was high, but now it's all gone

Just like that, she's gone again, and again

So baby, tell the truth

I can't keep on dying from the sight of you

And, maybe I just want a wholesome night with you

But I promise I can keep it down, for you

I'll be your dirty little secret

Promise I can keep it

Put your legs up to the ceiling

Oh baby, what a feeling

And if you see me out in public (If you see me out in public)

Baby, just keep walking (Just keep walking, but)

You can call me on the weekend (You can call me on the weekend)

Your dirty little secret (Your dirty little secret)

(I could be your little) Secret

(I could be your little) Secret

(I could be your dirty little, oh, boy) Secret (Could be your little)

(I could be your little) Secret

(I could be your, oh, oh)

(Ha, ha, ha)
