[English]

When she walked in, with her painted lips

Did she tease you for your flirty quips?

Did she leave you frozen with the wrong words chosen?

You gotta show her why she can't resist

Make her blush when you put your hand on her hips

She's gonna keep on playing until you stop chasing

So wrap your arms around her body

Tell her all she needs to know

Give a little heart and soul

Let your body lose control

Give a little oh, oh, ooh

Give a little

Wrap your arms around and give a little!

You gotta show her, when she can't decide

You gotta hold her, with that look in your eyes

When you move in close, take your time

Leave an empty shoulder, let her move in closer

And wrap your arms around her body

Tell her all she needs to know

Give a little heart and soul

Let your body lose control

Give a little oh, oh, ooh

Give a little

Wrap your arms around and give a little!

C'mon

Wrap your arms around and give a little

Wrap your arms around and give a little

She loves to keep you in suspense

You know she loves to keep you in suspense

But you know she just wants to dance

Give a little heart and soul

Let her body lose control

Give a little oh, oh, ooh

Just give a little

Wrap your arms around and give a little!

C'mon

Wrap your arms around and give a little!

Now you wanna hold her!

Wrap your arms around her body

Now you wanna hold her!

Just wrap your arms around and give a little
