[English]

DY, yo Inna baby

Vamo', arriba, let's go now!

Whoa tonight

Tonight we could be more than friends

Whoa tonight, (Yeah)

Tonight we should be more than friends (Yeah)

We're in the corner of a crowded room

I want your lips, your body, boy how soon?

And if you like what we doin'

Why don't we give in for the night?

This might just be the night of you and I

If there's no distance, ain't no hearts in that

And if you like what we doin'

Why don't we give in for the night? (Oh)

Whoa tonight

Tonight we could be more than friends

Whoa tonight (Ayy)

Tonight we should be more than friends (Ayy)

From the first time that I saw that look in your eyes

I've been thinking about you for all of this time

Whoa tonight

Tonight we could be more than friends (Ayy)

Ain't looking for someone to call my own

But with you boy we're in the danger zone

And if you like what we doin'

Why don't we give in for the night?

So here we are, I just dream of you

And all the things that I'm about to do to you

And if you like what we doin'

Why don't we give in for the night? (Oh)

Whoa tonight

Tonight we could be more than friends

Whoa tonight (Ayy)

Tonight we should be more than friends (Ayy)

From the first time that I saw that look in your eyes

I've been thinking about you for all of this time (Yeah, yeah)

Whoa tonight

Tonight we could be more than friends (Go, go, go, go)

Baby

She rings my bell, and they rush the floor

You mighta think that's cool though

Everybody in the club was hot

'Til I showed my watch, and they cooled out

Caliente, frío, to' eso que tú tiene e' mío

Caliente, frío, to' eso que tú tiene

It's forever (Forever)

You could be mine

It's whatever (Whatever)

Whatever you like

It's forever (Forever)

You could be mine

And I'm needing you right now

Baby come and hold me down, ow

Caliente, frío, to' eso que tú tiene e' mío

Whoa tonight (Go, go, go)

Tonight we could be more than friends

Whoa tonight (Go, go, go) Ayy

Tonight we should be more than friends (Ayy)

From the first time that I saw the look in your eyes

I've been thinking about you for all of this time

Whoa tonight (Ayy)

Tonight we could be more than friends (Who's your daddy?)

Hey, hey! (Go, go, go) Ayy

Tonight we could be more than friends (Sube)

Tonight we could be more than friends (Hey, hey!)
