You'll master expressions about being magnetically drawn to someone, suggesting a spontaneous date ('take it to the moon'), and the simple, playful language of modern flirting.

[English]

Take me back to the ground

'Cause girl, you look fine as hell (fine as hell)

I'm not easily distracted

But you're acting like a magnet

You pull me in

I'll be puttin' on a suit

Be tip toeing to you

If you're down for it

We got nothing else to do

And nothing else to lose

And I'm down for this

If you're in the mood

We can take it to the moon

Just like a movie scene

Table for two

No need to be fed

I want you instead

If you're in the mood

We can tip toe to the moon

Hold up, yeah

Tell my friends to pinch me hard

'Cause it couldn't be real (this can't be real)

Is this a dream I'm living

Lord help me, please

'Cause I can't get over you

I'll be putting on a suit

Be tip toeing to you

If you're down for it

We got nothing else to do

And nothing else to lose

And I'm down for this

Are you down for this?

If you're in the mood

We can take it to the moon

Just like a movie scene

Table for two

No need to be fed

I want you instead

If you're in the mood

We can tip toe to the moon

If you're in the mood

We can take it to the moon (take it to the moon)

Just like a movie scene

Table for two (table for two)

No need to be fed

I want you instead (tip toe to the moon)

If you're in the mood

We can tip toe to the moon

Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe

Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe

Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe

Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe

Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe
