[English]
Come, let me kiss you right there
Wake you up like sunrise
On the backs of your thighs
I'm gonna pray you this prayer
That I keep in my mind
As a lovely reminder
Even though you tell me you love me
I'm afraid that you just love my disguise
Taste my fears and light your candle to my raging fire
Of broken desire
But don't judge me
I know I got issues
But they drown when I kiss you
Don't judge me
Baptize me with ocean
Recognize my devotion
The water's perfectly good
Let's reintroduce ourselves
From a free point of view
If I'm gon' sin, it's with you
Tattoo your love on my heart
Let the rumors be true
Even though you tell me you love me
I'm afraid that you just love my disguise
Taste my fears and light your candle to my raging fire
The dirty desire
But don't judge me
I know I got issues
But they drown when I kiss you
Don't, don't judge me
Baptize me with ocean
Recognize my devotion
What if I, what if I touched you right there?
...
Even though you say that you love me
Is it me or do you love my disguise?
If I missed you, would you think I was lonely
If I say what's on my mind?
Even though you say that you love me
Is it me or do you love my disguise?
If I kissed you, would you think I was lonely
If I let you inside?
Come, let me kiss you right there
...
But if I kissed you right there
...
Would you tremble inside, or just call it a night?
What if I gave you a show
You could touch if you like
Right there
...
If I kissed you would you think I was lonely?
If I
It feels so good
...
Come, let me kiss you right there
...
Just say that you love me
...
