[English]

You evoke the feeling

This feeling I've been dreaming of

I'm ready to reveal it

Let inhibitions come undone

...

Yes or no, but no maybes

Not gonna beg, so don't make me

...

Yes or no, but no maybes

Here's my invitation, baby

Hope it sets us free

To know each other better

Put your love all over me

Here's my invitation, baby

Come feel my energy

We give emotions to each other

Put your love all over me

...

Put your love all over me

...

Put your love all over

I know it might seem crazy

But I'ma put you in this blindfold

I just need you to trust me

Oh, that you'll see more with your eyes closed

...

Yes or no, but no maybes

Not gonna beg, so don't make me

...

Yes or no, but no maybes

Here's my invitation, baby

Hope it sets us free

To know each other better

Put your love all over me

Here's my invitation, baby

Come feel my energy

We give emotions to each other

Put your love all over me

...

Put your love all over me

...

Put your love all over

Feel it now

Feeling something, kinda thinking out loud

Feeling something, kinda thinking right now, right now

We could be right, right now

Right now

Here's my invitation, baby

Hope it sets us free

To know each other better

Put your love all over me

Here's my invitation, baby

Come feel my energy

We give emotions to each other

Put your love all over me

...

Put your love all over me

...

Put your love all over

...
