[English]

Saw you there, so confused

I knew that I could make my move now

Treading softly, I walked over you

We talked about this thing called love

Saw your eyes open wide

And I knew your heart was in it

Well, let me take you there

Let me take you there tonight

Get on board, get on my love thing

Gonna drive you wild, ooh-ooh

I wanna show you, I wanna hear you sing

Baby, we got a love thing, right now

Close your eyes, follow me

I'll show you a world, you've never been to

Take a ride in my love machine

And I won't do anything you can't get into

What I've got is what you need

And you won't do a thing about it

Well, let me take you there

Let me take you there tonight

Get on board, get on my love thing

Gonna drive you wild

I wanna show you, I wanna hear you sing

Baby, we got a love thing, right now

I never want you to go

I always want you to stay

So come on, baby

Come on now, come on now

Come on now, come on now

Saw your eyes open wide

And I knew your heart was in it

Oh, let me take you there

Let me take you there tonight

Get on board, get on my love thing

Gonna drive you wild

I wanna show you, I wanna hear you sing

Baby, we got a love thing, right now

Get on board, get on my love thing

Gonna drive you wild

I wanna show you, I wanna hear you sing

Baby, we got a love thing, right now

Love thing

To show you

Hear you sing

We got a love thing, right now

Love thing

I wanna show you

I wanna hear you sing

We got a love thing, right now
