[English]

Baby, take me dancing tonight

Baby, take me dancing tonight

Baby, take me dancing tonight

Baby, take me dancing tonight

You're so raw, boy, and you're so romantic

When you fuck me right, and then you take me dancing

It's lonely out here in this big old mansion

In these hills cooped up, boy, can you take me dancing?

Left, right, bend, slide, hips, waist, spin, hold it

Tick, tick, tick (are you ready?), More body, less mind

Left, right, bend, slide, hips, waist, spin, hold it

Tick, tick (I'm gettin' ready), tick, more body, less mind

Pullin' up, stay invited

Bring a sidekick, come save me from

My emotions, babe, you're psychic

Bottled them up so you can sip me out

Layin' on my lounge

Just chasin' my high

Waitin' for your call

To take me tonight

You're so raw, boy, and you're so romantic

When you fuck me right, and then you take me dancing

It's lonely out here in this big old mansion

In these hills, cooped up, boy, can you take me dancing?

See me runnin' out, you get me out of the house, hit the town, we can ride on the shore (the shore)

I got a big bankroll, and I'm outta control, and I'm tryna give it all to you

I wanna ride it, we can go anywhere you want

All night, you know, with me, you winning, boy

Salsa dancing

That feels so romantic

Can't keep up, get up off your feet

I'm beyond the drugs you need

You're so raw, boy, and you're so romantic

When you fuck me right, and then you take me dancing

It gets lonely out here in this big old mansion

In these hills cooped up, boy, can you take me dancing?

Left, right, bend, slide, hips, waist, spin, hold it

Tick, tick, tick (are you ready?), More body, less mind

Left, right, bend, slide, hips, waist, spin, hold it

Tick, tick (I'm gettin' ready), tick, more body, less mind

Take me dancing (baby, take me dancing tonight)

Take me dancing (baby, take me dancing tonight)

Take me dancing (baby, take me dancing tonight)

Take me dancing (baby, take me dancing tonight)

You're raw, romantic

Fuck me right, ooh, you take me dancing

Lonely out here, in the hills

Baby (take me dancing, baby)

You're so raw, boy, and you're so romantic

When you fuck me right, and then you take me dancing

It's lonely out here in this big old mansion

In these hills, cooped up, boy, can you take me dancing? (Baby, take me dancing tonight)

Left, right, bend, slide, hips, waist, spin, hold it (I'm gettin' ready)

More body, less mind (I'm gettin' ready)

Left, right, bend, slide, hips, waist, spin, hold it (I'm gettin' ready)

(I'm gettin' ready)
