[English]

I'm burnin' in the yellow light

Turn the music up and drop it low

Shakin' off your bad, bad lies

Tonight, I'm fallin' off of your rodeo

Don't hit me up, I'm done with ya, you did me so wrong

I can't deny, I'm good on my own

You ain't the one, one to keep, my mama don't like ya

Get off your knees, you're nothin' to lose

I'm outta love

You've done enough

Keep runnin' off

Tonight, I'm lettin' go

I'm burnin' in the yellow light

Turn the music up and drop it low

Shakin' off your bad, bad lies

Tonight, I'm fallin' off of your rodeo

I'm movin' 'til the sun goes down

Oh, it's gettin' hot and heavy now

I'ma have a real good time

Tonight, I'm fallin' off of your rodeo

(Fallin' off of your rodeo)

I'm dancin' on table tops, you're outta my mind

You had your shot, no more you and I

I'm outta love

You've done enough

Keep runnin' off

Tonight, I'm lettin' go

I'm burnin' in the yellow light

Turn the music up and drop it low

Shakin' off your bad, bad lies

Tonight, I'm fallin' off of your rodeo

I'm movin' 'til the sun goes down

Oh, it's gettin' hot and heavy now

I'ma have a real good time

Tonight, I'm fallin' off of your rodeo

...

I'ma have a real good time

Tonight, I'm fallin' off of your rodeo

I'm outta love

You've done enough

Keep runnin' off

Tonight, I'm lettin' go

I'm burnin' in the yellow light

Turn the music up and drop it low

Shakin' off your bad, bad lies

Tonight, I'm fallin' off of your rodeo

I'm movin' 'til the sun goes down (movin' 'til the sun goes down)

Oh, it's gettin' hot and heavy now

I'ma have a real good time

Tonight, I'm fallin' off of your rodeo

(I'm burnin' in the yellow light)

I'ma have a real good time

Tonight, I'm fallin' off of your rodeo

...

(Rodeo)
