[English]

The sun was setting in the middle of July

But I was wrong about that

I was just looking in your eyes

I thought the temperature just hit a record high

But then I looked to my left and you were right by my side

Oh-woah

Don't know how you did what you did, but you did it, mmh

Oh-woah

We're on a roll baby, don't stop now

Go on and set my heart on fire

Go on and put this love in drive

'Cause it's yours if you want it, got your name on it

I need you, I need you, I need you

Go on and set my heart on fire

Ayy, ooh-ooh

My pulse is racing at the speed of Time Square

You wore that little red dress

You know that really ain't fair

Somehow your kisses always feel like the first

The way you blow my mind, oh it's so good that it hurts

Oh-woah

Don't know how you did what you did, but you did it, mmh

Oh-woah

We're on a roll, baby, don't stop now

Go on and set my heart on fire

Go on and put this love in drive

'Cause it's yours if you want it, got your name on it

I need you, I need you, I need you

Go on and set my heart on fire

(Hey)

You set my heart on fire, baby, (hey)

You can come and take it higher, baby (hey)

Could you come and set my heart on fire

Go on and set my heart on fire

Go on and put this love in drive

Go on and set (set) my heart (heart) on fire (fire)

Go on and put this love in drive (drive)

'Cause it's yours if you want, got your name on it

I need you, I need you, I need you

Go on and set (set) my heart (heart) on fire
