[English]

Baby

I can be your sweet baby

When things get crazy

Make sure you come and save me (Save me)

With this fast car

I can really get far

And don't break my heart

Let's make out (Let's make out! Let's make out!)

You can come take me away

There's no pressure play all day

Hold me tight and don't let go!

Mmm Papa love you

Mmm Papa love you

You love it when I'm freakin' out

Things get rough and there's no doubt

You will always be there for me

Mmm Papa love you

Mmm Papa love you

Stuck in

The middle of it all

To many people around me

Can you hear me call?

I look this way

And you're not there

If you don't mind

My soul out there

Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa

You can come take me away

There's no pressure play all day

Hold me tight and don't let go!

Mmm Papa love you

Mmm Papa love you

You love it when I'm freakin' out

Things get rough and there's no doubt

You will always be there for me

Mmm Papa love you

Mmm Papa love you

Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papi

Mmm Papi, Mmm Papi, Mmm Papi

Mmm Luvi, Mmm Luvi, Mmm Papi

(You will always be there for me)

(You will always be there for me)

You love it when I'm freakin' out (For me)

Things get and there's no doubt

You love it when I'm freakin' out (for me)

Things get and there's no doubt

Mmm Papa Love you (Mmm papa love you)

You can come take me away

There's no pressure play all day

Hold me tight and don't let go!

Mmm Papa love you

Mmm Papa love you

You love it when I'm freakin' out

Things get rough and there's no doubt

You will always be there for me

Mmm Papa love you

Mmm Papa love you

Now see

I'm mommy

And that make you Papi

And that makes us Luvi

Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa

Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa

Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa
