Barões da Pisadinha
To make your heart beat
I'm feeling homesick
To kiss you all over and make a passion-level love
I'm feeling homesick
Bet you are too
I recognize that look from afar
But I don't care to say
The desire I feel for you
My little lap
Wants your sitting
So sit down, girl
So sit down, girl
My little lap
Wants your sitting
So sit down, girl
So sit down, girl
Sit down, girl
I'm feeling homesick
To kiss you all over and make a passion-level love
I'm feeling homesick
Bet you are too
I recognize that look from afar
But I don't care to say
The desire I feel for you
My little lap
Wants your sitting
So sit down, girl
So sit down, girl
My little lap
Wants your sitting
So sit down, girl
So sit down, girl
My little lap
Wants your sitting
So sit down, girl
So sit down, girl
My little lap
Wants your sitting
So sit down, girl
So sit down, girl
Sit down, girl
Hey, Zé Felipe!
Just look at their heads, dad!
