[English]

When I get to the bottom

I go back to the top of the slide

Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride

Till I get to the bottom and I see you again

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, do you, don't you want me to love you?

I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you

Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on, tell me the answer

Well, you may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer

Now, helter skelter

Helter skelter

Helter skelter

Yeah

Ooh

...

Oh, will you, won't you want me to make you?

I'm coming down fast, but don't let me break you

Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer

You may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer

Look out

Helter skelter

Helter skelter

Helter skelter

Ooh

Look out

'Cause here she comes

When I get to the bottom

I go back to the top of the slide

And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride

And I get to the bottom and I see you again

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, do you, don't you want me to make you?

I'm coming down fast, but don't let me break you

Tell me, tell me, tell me your answer

You may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer

Look out

Helter skelter

Helter skelter

Helter skelter

Well, look out

Helter skelter

She's coming down fast

Yes, she is

Coming down fast

Oh, yeah, helter skelter

Ooh

I got blisters on my fingers
