Lyrics & Translation

[English]

To be the one

To turn me on

That's what I need

Do you have someone for me?

I like the way he holds your hand

I like that he's not scared to dance

And you know I'd never make a move

But I like the way he touches you

I like the way you're intimate

And I can tell you're into it

Never seen you like this before

Girl, you deserve to be adored

Yeah, you look happy

But do you have someone for me?

To be the one

To turn me on

That's what I need

Do you have someone for me?

Someone you know

To take me home

That's what I need

Do you have someone for me?

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me

Me, me, me, me, me, me

Do you have someone for me?

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me

Me, me, me, me, me, me

Do you have someone for me?

I like the way your bodies read

So much sexuality

I know the night's about to end

I'm hoping he might have a friend

I like the way that you describe

How he can almost read your mind

Anyone in this crowded room

Can see that he's so right for you

Yeah, you look happy

That makes me happy

But do you have someone for me?

To be the one

To turn me on

That's what I need

Do you have someone for me?

Someone you know

To take me home

That's what I need

Do you have someone for me?

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me

Me, me, me, me, me, me

Do you have someone for me?

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me

Me, me, me, me, me, me

Do you have someone for me?

To be the one

To turn me on

That's what I need

Do you have someone for me?

Someone you know

To take me home

That's what I need

Do you have someone for me?
