[English]

I said I’m on my way, but I’m already out there

Girl, hop on the big ride with me

Don’t mess up your eyeliner

For someone who’s only a part‑timer

Let’s crank up the mood and fire it up

Trust me, it’ll make you feel lighter

Feel the rhythm in your mind

And let your body sway, sway (yeah, yeah)

Mmm, yeah, the beat’s got you high

You’re dancing all night long

Take it, take it, take it all, baby

Grab it, grab it, we can worry later

Break free from your worst habits

All you need is your right‑hand girl, oh

Take it, take it, take it all, baby (oh)

Grab it, grab it, we can worry later (oh)

Break free from your worst habits (oh)

All you need is your right‑hand girl

For now you need some me‑time, na‑na‑na

Time to breathe and step aside, na‑na‑na (oh)

That melody’s a remedy, drowning out

All the memories you need, na‑na‑na (yeah, yeah)

And when I drop it, oh my (yeah)

You’ll follow, let your hips unwind, girl (ooh, yeah)

I won’t leave your side

‘Til you dance that boy right out of your life (I)

Feel the rhythm in your mind

And let your body sway, sway

Mmm, yeah, the beat’s got you high

You’re dancing all night long

Take it, take it, take it all, baby (yeah, yeah)

Grab it, grab it, we can worry later (ooh, whoa)

Break free from your worst habits

All you need is your right‑hand girl, oh (yeah)

Take it, take it, take it all, baby (oh, oh)

Grab it, grab it, we can worry later (oh, oh‑oh)

Break free from your worst habits (oh)

All you need is your right‑hand girl

Who will be there when the tears start falling?

Who will be there when there’s no fun left?

Who will love you through thick and thin?

Uh‑huh, your right‑hand girl

Who will be there when the tears start running?

Who will be there when there’s no fun left?

Who will love you through thick and thin?

Uh‑huh, your right‑hand girl

Take it, take it, take it all, baby

Grab it, grab it, we can worry later

Break free from your worst habits (oh)

All you need is your right‑hand girl, oh

Take it, take it, take it all, baby (oh)

Grab it, grab it, we can worry later (oh)

Break free from your worst habits (oh)

All you need is your right‑hand girl
