[English]

I, I need your love in the morning

I can't stop lovin'

Honey riser, be free, that summer feelin' breezy

Salty lips like candy, don't waste nothing on me

I wanna let go of this feelin'

I was twisted and reelin'

Honey riser, taste me, your mouth just outta reach

Hold me tight, gently meltin' all around me

Do you remember

How the chair stuck to the backs of your legs and neck?

Oh, that summer, that summer sweat

Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat

Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat

Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat

Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat

I, I need your love

I can't stop, can't get enough

I, I need your love

I can't stop, can't stop

Can't get enough
