[English]

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it

Been so long, I forgot how to turn it

Up, up, up, up all night long

Oh, up, up all night long

You, where the hell did you come from?

You're a different, different kind of fun

And I'm so used to feeling numb

Now, I've got pins and needles on my tongue

Anticipating what's to come

Like a finger on a loaded gun

I can feel it rising

Temperature inside me

Haven't felt it for a long time

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it

Been so long, I forgot how to turn it

Up, up, up, up all night long

Oh, up, up all night long

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it

Turned it on, but I know you can take it

Up, up, up, up all night long

Oh, up, up all night long (All night long)

I, I wasn't even gonna go out

But I never would've had a doubt

If I'd have known where I'd be now

Your hands on my hips

And my kiss on your lips

Oh, I could do this for a lifetime

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it

Been so long, I forgot how to turn it

Up, up, up, up all night long

Oh, up, up all night long

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it

Turned it on, but I know you can take it

Up, up, up, up all night long

Oh, up, up all night long

Until tonight, I only dreamed about you

I can't believe I ever breathed without you

Baby, you make me feel alive and brand new

Bring it one more time (One more time)

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it (Oh)

Been so long, I forgot how to turn it (Oh)

Up, up, up, up all night long

Oh, up, up all night long (Yeah)

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it (Oh)

Turned it on but, I know you can take it (Oh)

Up, up, up, up all night long

Oh, up, up all night long (All night long)

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it (All night long)

Been so long, I forgot how to turn it (Oh)

Up, up, up, up all night long (Oh)

Oh, up, up all night long

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it

Turned it on, but I know you can take it

Up, up, up, up all night long

Oh, up, up all night long
