[English]

Baby, my will is wearin' thin, the walls are closin' in

I need you baby

My heart's about to break, it's cruel to make me wait

Come to me baby

We're movin' through the night, a symphony of flight

Fly with me baby

You wanna see me cry, oh can't you see me, I

I need you now-ow, I need you now-ow

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

Your golden tresses feel like silk on my face

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

We're gonna be just great

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

I like that wiggle that you got in your jeans

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

You cast your spell on me

Baby, it's passion by design, with candlelight and wine

I want you baby

It's very clear to me, my love is what you need

Oh yes you do, you know you do-oo-oo

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

Come lay beside me by the fireside

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

It's gonna be alright

Everybody, everybody knows that

You're the hottest thing in town - Samantha

Everybody, everybody knows that

I am gonna track you down - Samantha

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

I want to kiss you like you've never been kissed

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

I never felt like this, Oh...

Baby, I need you now-ow-ow

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

I'm like a baby in a candy store

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

Come in and close the door

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

I'll show you my emotion

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

My love won't be denied

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha

Say yes and follow me to paradise

Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-Samantha
