[English]

Let's go take a ride in your car

I will take the passenger seat

Baby, we don't have to go far

Unless you wanna show

Me a lovely place out of town

Where you feel most at ease

Well you are the one that I like

Always will be

I think it's time to let you know

The way I feel when you take hold

One single touch from you, I'm gone

Still got the rush when I'm alone

I think it is time I let you know

Take all of me, I will devote

You set me free, my body's yours

It feels the best when you're involved

I want you to take over control

Take over control

Take take take take over control

Oh oh oh, I want you to take over control

Plug it in and turn me on

I want you to take over control

Take over control

Take take take take over control

...

Oh oh oh, I want you to take over control

Plug it in and turn me on

Baby, baby, can't you see?

That I'm giving all of me

So, it's up to you now

We could let time pass away

I'll make an excuse to play

But, it's up to you now

Just wanna fulfill your needs

While you're taking over me

So, what do you want now?

Take a picture, make a show

'Cause nobody has to know

All the ways that we get down

I want you to take over control

Take over control

Take take take take over control

Oh oh oh, I want you to take over control

Plug it in and turn me on

Oh, oh whoa oh

Oh, oh whoa ooh oh

Plug it in and turn me on

Oh, oh whoa oh

Oh, oh whoa ooh oh

Plug it in and turn me on

I want you to take over control

Take over control

Take take take take over control

Oh oh oh, I want you to take over control

Plug it in and turn me on

Oh, oh whoa oh

Oh, oh whoa ooh oh

Plug it in and turn me on

Oh, oh whoa oh

Oh, oh whoa ooh oh

Plug it in and turn me on
