[English]
I'm in a battle with my heartbeatThe 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)
