Hey

I want you

Do you wanna ride

Let's find a way

Let me love in town

You're dressed to impress?? more or less

Still the talk of the town

Fire, desire

Take me higher

I want you

You know I do

Yeah

I want you

Yeah

The roof is on fire

No place we can run

No need to bring water

Let the motherfucker burn

I like the way you move

The sexy clothes you wear

Come with me baby

I take you there

Fire, desire

Take me higher

I want you

You know I do

Yeah

Fire, desire

Take me higher

I want you

You know I do
