[English]

You give me adrenaline

I can feel the rush when I'm touching your hands

Turning on my final lap

Normally I'm turning back when I see checkered flags

Ooh, I never met a girl with a life on go, life on go (let it run, let it run)

And all my life I'm riding on cruise control, cruise control

Here we go

I never believed someone could make me believe

I got my foot on the gas, going fast, got me crazy

I'm pushing the speed, you've got me out of my seat and I don't wanna let up

Girl, we gotta let it run (let it run, let it run)

We gotta let it run (let it run, let it run)

Letting go or holding back

I've been playing too safe for too long

Every time you look like that, oh no

You can say the word, and you know I'm gone

Ooh, I never met a girl with a life on go, life on go (let it run, let it run)

And all my life I'm riding on cruise control, cruise control

Here we go

I never believed someone could make me believe

I got my foot on the gas, going fast, got me crazy

I'm pushing the speed, you've got me out of my seat and I don't wanna let up

Girl, we gotta let it run (let it run, let it run)

We gotta let it run (let it run, let it run)

You got me diving in the deep end drowning off a feeling

And I'm all in to the ceiling, I am

You got me diving in the deep end drowning off a feeling

And I'm all in to the ceiling, I am, I am, I am

I never believed someone could make me believe

I got my foot on the gas, going fast, got me crazy

I'm pushing the speed, you've got me out of my seat and I don't wanna let up

Girl, we gotta let it run (let it run, let it run)

We gotta let it run (let it run, let it run)
