Lyrics & Translation

[English]

When you walk in the room in a white bodysuit

And I say, "Take it off" so you tell me to watch

When it's pure, only your love could get me to fall

When it's deep, gets so hot and it's so beautiful

And the TV is on when we make love

Because we get carried away

We don't care anyway...

When it's pure, only your love could get me to fall

When it's deep, gets so hot and it's so beautiful

...

Wrapped your hair in a towel, but I watch you let it down

And it's all soaking wet as you take me in your mouth

And we stare at the street from the back balcony

But now all I can see is you undressing for me...

When it's pure, only your love could get me to fall

When it's deep, gets so hot and it's so beautiful

...
