[English]

I say

Puss puss

But I don't wanna hang up

Don't want you to leave me alone

Puss puss, bye bye

We've been talking all night

I just sent a song of mine

That I wrote especially for you

Look, look, FaceTime

'Cause my outfit's so nice

And you say you love it 'cause it's all see through

Are you with me?

But who's hanging up first 'cause it won't be me

Are you feeling

The c-c-chemicals?

Nothing is ephemeral

Puss puss

But I don't wanna hang up

Don't want you to leave me alone

Puss puss

Sweating like we're loving

I just wanna keep you on the phone

Wanna keep talking and talking

You got me blushing and blushing

Feels like you're touching me, touching me with your voice

Puss puss

So wet under these bedsheets

Talk to you in Swedish

Puss puss

I'm in the Hills

And I'm at a party with

You know that one actress in

That movie that we like

Miss you much

How your body speaks to me

Wanna feel you physically

But I like how we keep in touch

Call you in my car

Down Hollywood Blvd., oh boy, I'm a star

Come through, get on a plane

It's in our S-E-X

Pick you up at LAX

Puss puss

But I don't wanna hang up

Don't want you to leave me alone

Puss puss

Sweating like we're loving

I just wanna keep you on the phone

Wanna keep talking and talking

You got me blushing and blushing

Feels like you're touching me, touching me with your voice

Puss puss

So wet under these bedsheets

Talk to you in Swedish

Puss puss

Oh, I love how you

Kissing me

Missing you

Love the way

Taking your

Open 'em

Know my angles

See but don't touch

Oh, I love how you

Kissing me

Missing you

Love the way

Taking your

Open 'em

Know my angles

See but don't touch

I wanna feel your body when you call me

I wanna wear nothing, take it off me

I wanna feel your body when you call me

It's a fantasy until then

Puss puss

Wanna keep talking and talking

You got me blushing and blushing

Feels like you're touching me, touching me

with your voice

Puss puss

So wet under these bedsheets

Talk to you in Swedish

Puss puss
