Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Like what?

Come on, come on, what?

It's like, "What?"

Come on, come on

Like what?

Come on, come on, what?

I leave my bedroom with my posters of you up (it's like, "What?")

(Come on, come on) my superstar

Like what?

Come on, come on, what?

My friends all tell me you're too scared of coming up (it's like, "What?")

Come on, come on

Uh-huh, come on (like what?)

Uh-huh (come on, come on, what?)

Huh? Come talk to me

Huh? (Come on, come on) come on

Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight

You're hot, on fire, that's why I'm goin' tonight

Talk later, that's why you're goin' tonight

Your sex on fire, that's where we're goin' tonight

Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight

You're hot, on fire, that's why I'm goin' tonight

Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight

Your sex on fire, that's where we're goin' tonight

I waited all this time, now I guess it's time I can hold ya (like what?)

A million things I can say, but, baby, I'll wait some longer (come on, what?)

I leave my bedroom with my posters of you up (it's like, "What?")

I do this all because you're my superstar (come on, my superstar)

I look at you and I wonder why it's so complicated (like what?)

You're talking out to a crowd of people who thought you hated (come on, what?)

Your friends will tell me you're too scared of comin' up (it's like, "What?")

But tonight, why's it all emotional to me?

You want sex with me? Uh-huh

Come talk to me, come on (like what?)

You want sex with me? Uh-huh

Come talk to me, come on (like what?)

You want sex with me? Huh?

Come talk to me (come talk to me)

You want sex with me? Huh?

Come talk to me, come on

Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight

You're hot, on fire, that's why I'm goin' tonight

Talk later, that's why you're goin' tonight

Your sex on fire, that's where we're goin' tonight (it's like, "What?")

Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight

You're hot, on fire, that's why I'm goin' tonight

Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight (it's like, "What?")

Your sex on fire, that's where we're goin' tonight

I waited all this time, now I guess this time I can hold ya (like what?)

A million things I can say, but, baby, I'll wait some longer (come on, hold on, wait)

And how many hours can we stay up? You can ruin my makeup (it's like, "What?")

Yes, it's fine (hah, let's bounce tonight)

You could even ruin my life

Like what?

Come on

It's like, "What?"

Come on, come on

I look at you and I wonder why it's so complicated (like what?)

You're talking out to a crowd of people who thought you hated (come on, what?)

Anticipation makes me feel like throwing up (it's like, "What?")

But tonight, can you get ready? (Come on, what's goin' on?)

You want sex with me? Uh-huh

Come talk to me, come on (like what?)

You want sex with me? Uh-huh

Come talk to me, come on (Yeah)

You want sex with me? Huh?

Come talk to me (come talk to me)

You want sex with me? Huh?

Come talk to me, come on

Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight
