[English]

Shake it, do it again

Shake it, do it again

Shake it, do it again

Shake it, do it again

My body is here but my heart isn't

Come on, tell me where you are

Tell me, tell me where you are

Why don’t you tell me where you’re at

Come on, tell me where you are now

Within 40 seconds, I become someone I don’t know

Come on, tell me where you are

Tell me, tell me where you are

Why don't you tell me where you are

Come on, tell me where you’re at

The unceasing beat and the dance floor wall trembling

Close your ear, whispering softly, screaming (Ah!)

Screaming love words nobody can hear

Swallowed by the sound

I want to climb higher in love, with lips approaching

(It's gonna be electric)

Almost touching, but not yet

(It's gonna be electric)

Uh baby, baby, don’t close your eyes

Bounce, bounce, heart raging and sparking—Bang!

(It's gonna be electric)

Down with tingling sensation

(It's gonna be electric)

Uh baby, baby, don’t touch yet

I want a crazy kiss

(Oh) Until you get angry

Can I keep teasing you like this?

So electric, so electric, yeah

Who’s with who, and what’s what with whom? Joined in the circle, fools thinking they run the show

Baby, baby, what is it? Yeah (Baby, baby, what is it? Yeah)

Because it's all about who's with whose thing, if you step in wrong, you’ll get caught with both hands

Baby, baby, what is it? Yeah (Baby, baby, what is it? Yeah)

Oh baby, baby, what is it? Yeah

The unceasing beat and the dance floor wall trembling

Close your ear, whispering softly, screaming (Ah!)

Let’s get out of this small town, we’re going to break free

Hidden in the darkness

Climbing higher in love, lips approaching

(It's gonna be electric)

Almost touching, but not yet

(It's gonna be electric)

Uh baby, baby, don’t close your eyes (Baby)

Bounce, bounce, heart raging and sparking

(It's gonna be electric)

Down with tingling sensation

(It's gonna be electric)

Uh baby, baby, don’t touch yet

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A ragga bom bom bom boom, it's going down D-D-Dow

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A ragga bom bom bom boom, it's going down D-D-Dow

Shake it, do it again, shake it, do it again

(Oh na, na, na, na, na yeah)

Shake it, do it again, shake it, do it again

(Twisted love, yeah yeah)

Someone’s gaze already (Hoo) is stabbing me in the back

Swallowed by the night

Climbing higher in love, lips approaching

(It's gonna be electric)

Almost touching, but not yet

(It's gonna be electric)

Uh baby, baby, don’t close your eyes (Baby)

Bounce, bounce, heart raging and sparking

(If it scatters, bang)

Sparks flying, bang!

(It's gonna be electric)

Down with tingling sensation

(It's gonna be electric) (Electric kiss)

Uh baby, baby, don’t touch yet

(Hah) I want a wild kiss

(Oooh) Until you get angry

Can I keep teasing you like this?

So electric, so electric, yeah

Hahaha
