[English]

Gold green eyes

You, you see me in the perfect light

And, and even for the thousandth time

Yeah, your hands can make my skin light up like diamonds

Baby, it's chemical, something about you really drives me crazy

Baby, it's magical, it could be the stars above are all to blame

I get emotional knowing you never ever try to change me

'Cause you know who I am, goddamn

You're giving me shivers, running up through my spine

Giving me shivers, you're making me lose my mind

Always deliver (ooh, baby, baby)

You know my triggers (ooh, baby, baby)

So, just do what you do, what you do

Make my body shiver

Perfect fit like, like my name on your pillow lips

It, it's like a thousand ego trips

I, I'm dying to go anywhere you take me

Baby, it's chemical, something about you really drives me crazy

Baby, it's magical, it could be the stars above are all to blame

I get emotional knowing you never ever try to change me

'Cause you know who I am, goddamn

You're giving me shivers, running up through my spine

Giving me shivers, you're making me lose my mind

Always deliver (ooh, baby, baby)

You know my triggers (ooh, baby, baby)

So, just do what you do, what you do

Make my body shiver

...

You're giving me shivers, running up through my spine

Giving me shivers, you're making me lose my mind

Always deliver (ooh, baby, baby)

You know my triggers (ooh, baby, baby)

So, just do what you do, what you do

I love the way you make me

Shiver, running up through my spine

Giving me shivers, you're making me lose my mind

Always deliver (ooh, baby, baby)

You know my triggers (ooh, baby, baby)

So, just do what you do, what you do

Make my body shiver

Do what you do, what you do

Make my body shiver

Do what you do, what you do

I love the way you make me
