[English]

We wanted to fuck with real love

Wanted it sweet, so pure and warm

Never only sleeping over

We wanted to fuck like all the time

And when you got back from your flight

It was the first thing we did

And when you say you want it all

I know you want it all

Baby, take it all from me

And when you drag me on the floor and the blue Tejano's on

You keep your eyes on me

So get in the waves, swim in your leather

I always will make it feel like you were the last one

So get in the waves like it was the first time

And bless your heart, make you part of my life forever

In shorts so high-waist

The girl in the arcade said they were the shortest ever

And the rest like "Holiday"

The live one where she sang, dancing in a polka-dot top

And when you say you want it all

I know you want it all

Baby, take it all from me

And when you drag me on the floor and the blue Tejano's on

You keep your eyes on me

So get in the waves, swim in your leather

I always will make it feel like you were the last one

So get in the waves like it was the first time

And bless your heart, make you part of my life forever and always

Get in the waves, swim in your leather

I always will make it feel like you were the last one

So get in the waves like it was the first time

And bless your heart, make you part of my life forever and always

And always

...
