[English]

I see that you want it

I already know

Impatient to show me

Your love below

Livin in lust like

You just wanna see

Come a bit closer

Here, take a peek

Make her make her say

Make her make her say

Make her make her say

Make her make her say

Mwah

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it up

Shall I call you daddy?

Shall I call your name?

You can touch it again babe

But never the same

Drum like a tom tom

Go like a train

Switch up positions

Oh so awesome

Make her make her say

Make her make her say

Yeah, make her make her say

Make her make her say

Make her make her say

Mwah

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it up

Beat it, beat it up

Beat it, beat it up

Beat it, beat it up

Beat it, beat it up

Beat it, beat it up

Beat it, beat it up

Beat it, beat it up

Beat it, beat it up

Beat it, beat it up

Beat it, beat it up

Beat it, beat it up

Beat it, beat it up

Beat it, beat it up
