[English]

Ecstasy, that is what I'm feeling when you're next to me

Tell me what to do, just like a recipe

You know what you're doing to me mentally

But eventually, I want you sexually

My hands on your body like a wheel cuisine

You can call it love or call it destiny

But when I'm with you, baby, it's ecstasy

Mm, mm

All the butterflies wey dey my belly when they start to fly

Na the paradise wey dey your body I dey visualize

And I don realize when I'm lookin' deep into your eyes

All I feel is ecstasy (ecstasy)

...

(Ecstasy)

Ogologo, baby, I been calling your phone

Put your body on my body, and tell me I be your own

The feeling you be giving me be driving me outta zone

See my medulla oblongata, e dey scatter go

Nwatago, you cannot do this all alone

If I touch your body, you go dey miss me when I'm gone

Cannot do this all alone, cannot kiss me through the phone

Wanna let you know, every day I wan dey make you moan

Dey with me 'til evening, baby, jọwọ, ma i lọ o

Hold me like a convo, press me like a piano

I been on the road, and I have been on my own

I just need some

(Ecstasy)

That is what I'm feeling when you're next to me (ay, ay)

Tell me what to do, just like a recipe

You know what you're doing to me mentally

But eventually, I want you sexually

My hands on your body like a wheel cuisine

You can call it love or call it destiny

But when I'm with you, baby, it's ecstasy

Mm-mm

All the butterflies wey dey my belly when e start to fly

Na the paradise wey dey your body I dey visualize

And I don realize when I'm lookin' deep into your eyes

All I feel is ecstasy (ecstasy...)

...

(Ecstasy, ecstasy)

...

(Ecstasy, ecstasy)
