[English]

Give it to me, do it to me, give it to me

Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, no (Shaggy)

The way you make me feel

From deep down in my soul

I'm losing all control

Girl, I can't fight this feeling

It feels so right

Champagne and candlelight

The way you hold me tight

Girl, I can't fight this feeling
