[English]

It feels so good, it feels so good

And right outside the door, nobody knows

They're right outside the door and they don't know

How it feels so good, it feels so good

...

I never was very good

I haven't been so good

But right outside the door, nobody knows

They're right outside the door and they don't know

How it feels so good, it feels so good

...

And I don't need anything other than you

...
