[English]
We wanted to fuck with real loveWanted 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
