Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Oh my God

I am heartly sorry for having offended Thee

And I detest all my sins

Because I dread the loss of heaven and the pain of hell

But most of all, because I love Thee

And I want so badly too be good (good, good, good, good)

...

It's so hypnotic

The way he pulls on me

It's like the force of gravity right up under my feet

It's so erotic

This feeling can't be beat

It's coursing through my whole body, feel the heat

I got that burnin' hot desire

And no one can put out my fire

It's coming right down through the wire

Here it comes

When I hear them 808 drums

It's got me singing

Hey-ey-ey-ey-eh-ey

Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild

I'm like, hey-ey-ey-ey-eh-ey

Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild

Girls, they just wanna have some fun

Get fired up like a smokin' gun

On the floor 'til the daylight comes

Girls, they just wanna have some fun

Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild

I'm like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild

The room is spinning

It must be the tanqueray

I'm about to go astray, my inhibition's gone away

I feel like sinning

You got me in the zone

DJ play my favorite song, turn me on

I got that burnin' hot desire

And no one can put out my fire

It's coming right down through the wire

Here it comes

When I hear them 808 drums

It's got me singing

Hey-ey-ey-ey-eh-ey

Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild

I'm like, hey-ey-ey-ey-eh-ey

Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild

Girls, they just wanna have some fun

Get fired up like a smokin' gun

On the floor 'til the daylight comes

Girls, they just wanna have some fun

I know, I know, I know I shouldn't act this way

I know, I know, I know good girls don't misbehave

Misbehave

But I'm a bad girl, anyway

Forgive me

Hey-ey-ey-ey-eh-ey

Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild

I'm like, hey-ey-ey-ey-eh-ey

Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild

Girls, they just wanna have some fun

Get fired up like a smokin' gun

On the floor 'til the daylight comes

Girls, they just wanna have some fun

Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild

I'm like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild

...
