[English]

I need a little casual conversation, girl, with you

And you ain't gotta worry 'bout a thing no more

'Cause baby, I got the keys for us

How about I pick you up at 9?

Meet me outside

Baby, its a vibe

Roll down the windows

We can fly

I can see the stars, baby, in your eyes

...

And I can't wait no more

Baby, 'cause I like you, you like me

Let's just get together

I like you, you like me

You don't need no invitation

'Cause I like you, you like me

Let's just get together

I like you, you like me

You don't need no invitation, girl

Roll down the windows

We can fly
