Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I'm falling in love

With party, friends and alcohol

I'm falling in love

With party, friends and alcohol

We falling in love

With party, friends and alcohol

That's why I'm falling in love

Falling in love with you tonight

Spent my whole life waiting, for a girl like you

Baby tell me what I gotta do

We can leave this party, back to my room

You could show me a thing or two

Cause I've been spending all my money on these pretty girls and alcohol

But honey they ain't got a thing on you

You shoot me once you shoot me twice, now take me to your paradise

You know there's just one thing left to do

Let me show you I'm talking about

If you let me be your lover

I'd do anything for you

I could rock you like no other

Oh oh, come on girl get loose

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na

Baby shake that body

Now turn around

Slow motion for me now (oh yeah)

Girl you got me going, I'm going down

Yeah you know what I talking about

Cause I've been spending all my money on these pretty girls and alcohol

But honey they ain't got a thing on you

You shoot me once you shoot me twice, now take me to your paradise

You know there's just one thing left to do

Let me show you I'm talking about

If you let me be your lover

I'd do anything for you

I could rock you like no other

Oh oh, come on girl get loose

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na

I'm the mailman I deliver

Take her to dinner

Conversate a little then I split her down the middle like Miami's river

I like my women one up one down Kerry Kittles here's a riddle

What's the opposite of walk? Run

What's the opposite of go? Come

That means I hit it, I run, you come

Fe fi fo fun tear the club up!

All my sexy ladies that came to lose their minds

Put you hands up high tear the club up!

She ain't looking for a man, she is just looking for a really good time

That's right tear the club up!

Let's drink that bottle and forget what we doing tonight

Tear the club up!

I ain't trying to be your lover for life just your lover tonight, that's right

If you let me be your lover

I'd do anything for you

I could rock you like no other

Oh oh, come on girl get loose

If you let me be your lover

I'd do anything for you

I could rock you like no other

Oh oh, come on girl get loose

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na
