[English]

I took a dive in your blue eyes

I thought everything's cool

I thought everything's alright

Now I'm dancing with you

Under the heat of the spotlight

It was a hell of a tune

I could have danced with you all night

With the way that you move

And I put on my lipstick

Painted my nails

Cherry, cherry red

Now I can't stop the thought of you

Runnin' round my head

Oh ohh

Two steps in, is this what we're made for?

Oh ohh

Shoulda left ya on the dancefloor

Oh ohh

Losing my head is not what I came for

Oh ohh

Shoulda left ya on the dancefloor

But I wanted more more more more

Shoulda left ya

Whenever I hear the music

Yeah, I'm back in the room

But I got a confession, yeah

That baby I still, I still think of you

And I put on my lipstick

Painted my nails

Cherry, cherry red

Now I can't stop the thought of you

Runnin' round my head

Oh ohh

Two steps in, is this what we're made for?

Oh ohh

Shoulda left ya on the dancefloor

Oh ohh

Losing my head is not what I came for

Oh ohh

Shoulda left ya on the dancefloor

But I wanted more more more more

Shoulda left ya, shoulda left ya

More more more more

Shoulda left ya

I took a dive in your blue eyes

I thought everything's cool

I thought everything's alright

Now I'm dancing with you
