[English]

You love how you push me to the point of crazy

And I love when you're on your knees and begging for me

You got me good with all these mind games

There you go, you got my heart again

Say my name, I wanna hear you call

Hold me close, I wanna feel your heart

I'm in a cold sweat and I want you bad

Now you got me all in my head, like damn

I'ma show you how, show you how, show you how

To love again

I'ma show you how, show you how, show you how

To love again

I'ma show you how, show you how, show you how

To love again

I'ma show you how, show you how, show you how

To love again

Say my name, I wanna hear you call

Hold me close, I wanna feel your heart

I'm in a cold sweat and I want you bad

Now you got me all in my head, like damn

Skrillex]

I'ma show you how, show you how, show you how

To love again

I'ma show you how, show you how, show you how

To love again

I'ma show you how, show you how, show you how

To love again

I'ma show you how, show you how, show you how

To love again

I'ma show you how, show you how, show you how

To love again

I'ma show you how, show you how, show you how

To love again

I'ma show you how, show you how, show you how

To love again

I'ma show you how, show you how, show you how

To love again.
