[English]

(In this, in this, in this, in this)

(In this, in this, in this, in this)

In this room of darkness I ain't undercover

That won't stop my prowess rubbing off on to another

Elevating higher as my body's moving lower

Now I've reached my element you better move over

But he doesn't he blocks my way

I try to push past, but he wants to play

So I sip his drink as I hold his gaze

Oh-oh oh-oh oh

When we erupt in to the room

And hear the sub go boom

A feeling easy to resume

This right here I swear will end too soon

So I sink in to the tune

As I inhale the fume

A feeling easy to resume

This right here I swear will end to soon

(This right here I swear, I swear, I swear...)

(This right here I swear, I swear, I swear...)

(This right here I swear, I swear, I swear...)

(This right here I swear, I swear, I swear...)

My limbs seem to move what the beat dictates to me

I push in to the middle, the sound becomes a part of me

Taking me back to that sweet familiarity

Making my adrenalin rise, I feel the eyes on me

Sip the bottle now don't be slow

Keep up with me as we lose control

Keep up with me as we lose control

Oh-oh, oh-oh oh

When we erupt in to the room

And hear the sub go boom

A feeling easy to resume

This right here I swear will end too soon

So I sink in to the tune

As I inhale the fume

A feeling easy to resume

This right here I swear will end to soon

(This right here I swear, I swear, I swear...)

(This right here I swear, I swear, I swear...)

(This right here I swear, I swear, I swear...)

(This right here I swear, I swear, I swear...)

Oh-oh oh

When we erupt in to the room

And hear the sub go boom

A feeling easy to resume

This right here I swear will end too soon

So I sink in to the tune

As I inhale the fume

A feeling easy to resume

This right here I swear will end to soon
