[English]

Come on, touch my body, feel the rhythm

Pull me closer, let it ride

Come on, touch my body, feel the rhythm

Pull me closer, let it ride

Can you feel my heart? It's racing

Down deep inside

Only you can touch those places

I can't deny

The future's looking better, I don't need to lie

We can't control it, look into my eyes

I just wanna do this, baby

So let it ride

Come on, touch my body, feel the rhythm

Pull me closer, let it ride

Come on, touch my body, feel the rhythm

Pull me closer, let it ride

Free your inhibitions, baby

Don't fall behind

I can see you're starving, sugar

And so am I

Don't misunderstand me, we can take our time

Just let me taste you, can I eat your mind?

I know we can do this, baby

So let it ride

Come on, touch my body, feel the rhythm

Pull me closer, let it ride

Come on, touch my body, feel the rhythm

Pull me closer, let it ride

Come on, touch my body, feel the rhythm

Pull me closer, let it ride

Come on, touch my body, feel the rhythm

Pull me closer, let it ride

Come on, touch my body, feel the rhythm

Pull me closer, let it ride

Come on, touch my body, feel the rhythm

Pull me closer, let it ride

Come on, touch my body, feel the rhythm

Pull me closer, let it ride

Come on, touch my body, feel the rhythm

Pull me closer, let it ride

Let it ride

Let it ride

Let it ride

Let it ride
