[English]

Let's go to the park

I wanna kiss you underneath the stars

Maybe we'll go too far

We just don't care

We just don't care

We just don't care.

You know I love it when you're loving me

Sometimes it's better when it's publicly

I'm not ashamed, I don't care who sees

Us hugging & kissing our love exhibition, oh

We'll rendezvous out on the fire escape

I'd like to set off an alarm today

The love emergency don't make me wait

Just follow I'll lead you

I urgently need you, oh

Let's go to the park

I wanna kiss you underneath the stars

Maybe we'll go too far

We just don't care

We just don't care

We just don't

Let's make love, let's go somewhere they might discover us

Let's get lost in lust

We just don't care

We just don't care

We just don't care.

I see you closing down the restaurant

Let's sneak and do it when your boss is gone

Everybody's leaving we'll have some fun

Or maybe it's wrong but you're turning me on

Ooh, we'll take a visit to your Mama's house

Creep to the bedroom while your Mama's out

Maybe she will hear it when we scream and shout

And we'll keep it rocking until she comes knocking

Let's go to the park

I wanna kiss you underneath the stars

Maybe we'll go too far

We just don't care

We just don't care

We just don't

Let's make love

Let's go somewhere they might discover us

Let's get lost in lust

We just don't care

We just don't care

We just don't care

If we keep up all this fooling around

We'll be the talk of the town

I'll tell the world I make love any time

Let's open up the blinds 'cause we really don't mind

Oh I don't care about propriety

Let's break the rules, ignore society

Maybe our neighbor like to spy, it's true

So what if they watch when we do what we do

Oh

Let's go to the park

I wanna kiss you underneath the stars

Maybe we'll go too far

We just don't care

We just don't care

We just don't

Let's make love

Let's go somewhere they might discover us
