Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I think I'm in love

Body like a fire

Place is burning up

Burning up, burning up

Feelings loud enough, ay!

Hear me like a choir

Way you back me up, back me up

It's such a pleasure

Body feels like a treasure

I keep coming back forever

You and I, any weather

Oh yes, it's my pleasure

Body feels like a treasure

I keep coming back forever

You and I change the weather

When you dance on my island

Dance on my island

I love it when you dance on my island

On my island

I love it when you dance on my island

Ever since she came into my life

Everything has been the same

You and I have spectacular vibes

Now it seems everything done changed

And now we're just driving each other away

Our love keep me coming, go back and stay

We used to be happy like it's a birthday

One time your fault, two time my shame

Still, it's such a pleasure

Body feels like a treasure

I keep coming back forever

You and I, any weather

Oh yes, it's my pleasure

Body feels like a treasure

I keep coming back forever

You and I change the weather

When you dance on my island

Dance on my island

I love it when you dance on my island

On my island

I love it when you dance on my island

And everything that you said, I believe that

You got a body, baby, look like I need ya

And all you need in your life, you will recieve that

And all them days are gone, 'cause so many times,

you made me cry

You said 'goodbye, I had a lonely night'

And now I'm flying, lighting up the sky

You holla at me but I think I'm alright

Oh, don't you lie, you miss me in your life

But when I think of good days, I think I just might

It's been a pleasure

Body feels like a treasure

I keep coming back forever

You and I, any weather

Oh yes, it's my pleasure

Body feels like a treasure

I keep coming back forever

You and I change the weather

When you dance on my island

Dance on my island

I love it when you dance on my island

On my island

I love it when you dance on my island

I think I'm in love with your love, with your love

I think I'm in love with your love, with your love

I think I'm in love with your love, with your love

I think I'm in love with your love, with your love

I think I'm in love with your love, with your love

I think I'm in love with your love, with your love

I think I'm in love with your love, with your love

I love it when you dance on my island
