[English]

My head is in a spin

My feet don't touch the ground

Because you're near to me

My head goes round and round

My knees are shakin' baby

My heart it beats like a drum

It feels like

It feels like I'm in love

Ain't been this way before

But I know I'm turned on

It's time for something baby

I can't turn off

My knees are shakin' baby

My heart it beats like a drum

It feels like

It feels like I'm in love

My knees shake

My heart beats like a drum

It feels like

It feels like I'm in love

My knees shake

My heart beats like a drum

Ooh baby

Ooh baby

Ooh baby

My head is in a spin

My feet don't touch the ground

Because you're near to me

My head goes round and round

My knees are shakin' baby

My heart it beats like a drum

It feels like

It feels like I'm in love

My knees shake

My heart beats like a drum

Ooh baby

Ooh baby
