[English]

Tap, tap your stiletto, pretty girl, go on and cause a scene

Prove how bad you need it, put on a show for me

Dancing for the devil, bring your body and your energy

Kid, you got it, go on flaunt it

Sell your sex and soul to me

Ooh, maybe I should count myself so lucky, so lucky

Ooh, all these dirty hands, they wanna touch me, so touch me

Tie me up

Pull my strings and make me sing like

Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh

Bite my tongue

What you need, come take from me like

Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh

Tell me just how far, push right past the bar

Cut right 'round my heart

Superscar on my body, make me sing like

Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh

Knock, knock on the door

I bring your body and my energy

Calculate my attitude and my I-identity

Lucky, lucky you, you found your monetary fantasy

Stop, pose, drop, I'll make your wallet sing

Ooh, maybe I should count myself so lucky, so lucky

Ooh, all these dirty hands they wanna touch me, so touch me

Tie me up

Pull my strings and make me sing like

Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh

Bite my tongue

What you need, come take from me like

Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh

Tell me just how far, push right past the bar

Cut right 'round my heart

Superscar on my body, make me sing like

Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh

(Oh, oh, ooh-oh)

(Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh)

(Oh, oh, ooh-oh)

(Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh)

Shut my lips to speak, stick to your strategy

I know you like 'em weak, sold you a piece of me

Shut my lips to speak, stick to your strategy

I know you like 'em, like 'em, like 'em, like 'em, like 'em weak

Tie me up

Pull my strings and make me sing like

Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh

Bite my tongue

What you need, come take from me like

Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh

Tell me just how far, push right past the bar

Cut right 'round my heart

Superscar on my body, make me sing like

Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh

(Oh, oh, ooh-oh)

(Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh)

(Oh, oh, ooh-oh)

(Oh, oh, ooh-oh, oh)
