[English]

Usher baby

Yeah, yeah

We did it again

And this time I'ma make you scream

Usher! Yeah, man

I see you over there, so hypnotic

Thinkin' 'bout what I'd do to that body

I'd get you like ooh baby, baby, ooh baby, baby

Ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby, baby

Got no drink in my hand, but I'm wasted

Getting drunk of the thought of you naked

I'd get you like ooh baby, baby, ooh baby, baby

Ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby, baby

And I've tried to fight it, to fight it

But you're so magnetic, magnetic

Got one life, just live it, just live it

Now relax and get on your back

If you wanna scream, yeah

Let me know and I'll take you there

Get you going like ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby, baby

Ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby

If you wanna turn right, hope you're ready to go all night

Get you going like ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby, baby

Ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby

If you wanna scream

Yeah (come on) kill the lights, shut 'em off, you're electric

Devil eyes tellin' me come and get it

I'll have you like ooh baby, baby, ooh baby, baby

Ooh baby, baby, ooh baby, baby

Girl tonight, you're the prey, I'm the hunter (the hunter)

Take you here, take you there, take you under

Imagine me, whisperin' in your ear that I wanna

Take off all your clothes and put somethin' on ya

And I tried to fight it, to fight it

But you're so magnetic, magnetic

Got one life, just live it, just live it

Now relax and get on your back

If you wanna scream, yeah

Let me know and I'll take you there

Get you going like ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby, baby

Ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby

If you wanna turn right, hope you're ready to go all night

Get you going like ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby, baby

Yeah, ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby

I'ma make you scream (if you wanna scream) out louder, scream (Usher) louder (if you wanna scream)

Louder, louder, louder, la da da da da

Hey, somebody scream out on me! (If you wanna scream)

...

If you wanna scream, yeah

Let me know and I'll take you there

Get you going like ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby, baby

Ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby

If you wanna turn right, hope you're ready to go all night

Get you going like ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby, baby

Ah-ooh baby, baby, ooh baby

If you wanna scream
