[English]

We are one tonight

And we're breathing in the same air

So turn up the love

Turn up the love

We turnin' up the love

...

Turn it up now

...

Get, get it poppin' hot tamale

Dirty bass we so baddy-baddy, ow

Too legit we can't quit the party

Super freaks no Illuminati

So one two hit the booze

We on Youtube nothing to lose

So let it loose 'cause the sheep don't sleep

Like pop pop pop pop (aight)

Don't low to the L-O (L-O)

V E gotta get mo' (get mo')

So clap your hands, clap clap your hands

I got nothing but love to give (turn it up)

Turned up you don't hear me no (hear me no)

Here's some love for your stereo (stereo)

So clap your hands, clap clap your hands

I got nothing but love to give

We are one tonight

And we're breathing in the same air

So turn up the love

Turn up the love

We turnin' up the love

We are one tonight

And we're breathing in the same air

So turn up the love

Turn up the love

We turnin' up the love

Go ahead now floss your love

Like a heart of gold (gold)

Dirty bass to bake a Tootsie Roll (go)

If you go low on the floor

I got a crew that will handle that cookie jar

Damn girl

I ain't tryin' to be rude

Spread love like a guestlist

You plus two (plus two)

That's what you call a move

Like pop pop pop pop (aight)

Don't low to the L-O (L-O)

V-E gotta get mo' (get mo')

So clap your hands, clap clap your hands

I got nothing but love to give (turn it up)

Turned up you don't hear me no (hear me no)

Here's a love for your stereo (stereo)

So clap your hands, clap clap your hands

Like pop pop pop pop

Turn me on like this your song

Dirty bass got love to give (turn it up now)

Mad monopoly all night long

Dirty bass got love to give

Yo let me see that grill

From ear to ear

So much lovin' in the atmosphere

The good times roll with me right here

I got nothing but love to give

We are one tonight

And we're breathing in the same air

So turn up the love

Turn up the love

We are one tonight

And we breathing in the same air

So turn up the love

Turn up the love
