[English]

Oh...

Ooh, yeah, yeah

She wants more

Said she wants more than fireworks tonight

More like a stick of dynamite

And everyone from next door

Can hear the explosion

'Cause she wants more than fireworks tonight

More like a stick of dynamite

And everyone from next door

Can hear the explosion 'cause she wants more than

The ordinary, she request the extra-ordinary

The lingerie, the bra with the strawberry

Me say kisses and she say, "Yeah, many?"

Me say hickey she say, "The more the merrier"

The stick of dynamite she said she want bury

It's a deep and creep in her belly

So tell me if you're ready for some loud nights

The neighbours can't even hear their own voice

Said she wants more than fireworks tonight

More like a stick of dynamite

And everyone from next door

Can hear the explosions

'Cause she wants more than fireworks tonight

More like a stick of dynamite

And everyone from next door

Can hear the explosions 'cause she wants more than

She said champagne, chocolate and roses arouse me

But I notice mostly explosives

That's why she grab me and pull me closely

And say, "Omi, you the best and you deserve a trophy"

Know that you are mine

I get to blow your mind like a landmine

Don't worry, I'm a really nice guy

Plus my have the stick of dynamite fi brighten up your night sky

Said she wants more than fireworks tonight

More like a stick of dynamite

And everyone from next door

Can hear the explosion

'Cause she wants more than fireworks tonight (she wants more)

More like a stick of dynamite (yeah)

And everyone from next door

Can hear the explosion 'cause she wants more than

It's like a millennium countdown

For the New Year to come around

A minute to 12, we're here by ourselves

In pyjamas and nightgown

We'll say five, four, three, two, one

We'll be disturbing everyone

It's like World War I

Get ready for some explosion

Said she wants more than fireworks tonight

More like a stick of dynamite (yeah, ooh)

And everyone from next door

Can hear the explosion

'Cause she wants more than fireworks tonight

More like a stick of dynamite

And everyone from next door

Can hear the explosion 'cause she wants more than fireworks tonight

More like a stick of dynamite

And everyone from next door

Can hear the explosion 'cause she wants more (oh yeah)
