[English]

I'm in a battle with my heartbeat

The more I struggle, the more I get deep

I go full throttle down the dark streets

And there is trouble ahead, I get weak

It's like I'm running through a red light

Girl, you know you make me weak

I should be hitting all the brakes like

Hold up, hold up, oh

Girl, you really turn me on, on, on, on

You know you make my engine run, run, run, run

And there's no turning back, 'cause we've gone too far

I'll drive you like a fast car (go, go, go)

Girl, you really turn me on, on, on, on

You know you make my engine run, run, run, run

And there's no turning back, 'cause we've gone too far

I'll drive you like a fast car (go, go, go)

It isn't like me to get caught up

But when you're running, you're never quite free

I really wasn't out to find love

But now you found me and got me all weak

It's like I'm running through a red light

Girl, you know you make me weak

I should be hitting all the brakes like

Hold up, hold up, oh

Girl, you really turn me on, on, on, on

You know you make my engine run, run, run, run

And there's no turning back, 'cause we've gone too far

I'll drive you like a fast car (go, go, go)

Girl, you really turn me on, on, on, on

You know you make my engine run, run, run, run

And there's no turning back, 'cause we've gone too far

I'll drive you like a fast car, hey-yeah (go, go, go)

I'll drive you like a fast car (go, go, go)

I'm in a battle with my heartbeat

The more I struggle, the more I get deep

I go full throttle down the dark streets

And there is trouble ahead, I get

I get weak, I get weak, I get

I get weak, I get weak

Girl, you really turn me on, on, on, on

You know you make my engine run, run, run, run

And there's no turning back, 'cause we've gone too far

I'll drive you like a fast car (go, go, go)

Girl, you really turn me on, on, on, on

You know you make my engine run, run, run, run

And there's no turning back, 'cause we've gone too far

I'll drive you like a fast car (go, go, go)

I'll drive you like a fast car (go, go, go)
