[English]

I want my love made to measure

I wanna feel how you fit around me

I don't need money or treasure

Spend your quality time on me

Spend it all on me

All on me, all on me, all on me

Spend it all on me

All on me, all on me, all on me

Baby, if you pay me in pleasure

I'ma keep it coming forever

Baby, if you pay me in pleasure

I'ma keep it coming, coming

Come-come-coming

Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure

Yeah, baby, pay me in pleasure

Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure

We can be growing together

Find your shade baby under my tree

I lick, lick, lick from you nectar

Taste so sweet put it all on me

Put it all on me

All on me, all on me, all on me

Put it all on me

All on me, all on me, all on me

Baby, if you pay me in pleasure

I'ma keep it coming forever

Baby, if you pay me in pleasure

I'ma keep it coming, coming

Come-come-coming

Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure

Yeah, baby, pay me in pleasure

Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure

Yeah, baby, pay me in pleasure

Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure

Yeah, baby, pay me in pleasure

Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure

My baby pay me in pleasure

Pleasure

My baby pay me in pleasure
