[English]

I'm usually not the type of girl that gives in to temptation

But me and you bein' in the same room puts me in a situation

I could leave, but I can't move my feet right now

I should be anywhere but here right now

There's a reason I can't look away right now

And you know it, uh, yeah, you know it

'Cause I

Swore I'd be single for life

'Cause a broke heart cuts like a knife

Now, you're changin' my mind

Boy, you take me back in time

Oh, when you're lookin' at me like that, like that

You're givin' me a flashback, flashback

And my heart's on fire

I shiver like (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ah-ah)

When you're lookin' at me like that, like that

You're giving me a flashback, a flashback

Set my heart on fire

I shiver like (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ah-ah)

Guess I'm in love again

Why should I try, and stop myself

When all you do is make me feel right?

It's inevitable that I lose control in your spotlight

(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ah-ah)

'Cause I

Swore I'd be single for life

'Cause a broke heart cuts like a knife

Now, you're changin' my mind

Boy, you take me back in time

Oh, when you're lookin' at me like that, like that

You're givin' me a flashback, flashback

And my heart's on fire

I shiver like (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ah-ah)

When you're lookin' at me like that, like that

You're givin' me a flashback, a flashback

Set my heart on fire

I shiver like (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ah-ah)

Oh, 'cause when you're lookin' at me like that, like that

You're givin' me a flashback, a flashback

Set my heart on fire

I shiver like, ohh-ohh-oh, oh

When you're lookin' at me like that, like that

You're givin' me a flashback, a flashback

And my heart's on fire

I shiver like (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ah-ah)

Guess I'm in love again (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ah-ah)

Guess I'm in love again (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ah-ah)

Guess I'm in love again (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ah-ah)

I shiver like (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ah-ah)
