[English]

Down to who knows who, just to socialize

...

I'm waiting for my girls, when you caught my eyes

You've got no way to make a man, honey you've got to understand

I'm your man, child, Lord of the thighs

...

Well, well, Lordie my God, what do we got here?

...

She's flashin' 'cross the floor, make it perfectly clear

...

You're the bait and you're the hook, someone bound to take a look

I'm your man, child, Lord of the thighs

...

You must have come here to find it

You've got the look in your eyes

Although you really don't mind it

I am the Lord of your thighs

...

You must have come here to find it

You've got the look in your eyes

Although you really don't mind it

I am the Lord of your thighs

...
