[English]
Hey, baby, do me a favor:
Bring someone who knows about love
Without the "but" of a trainer,
Because there will never be a master here
...
A lion without a tamer
...
Listen closely to what I propose:
Just us, alone, in the elevator
Use my shamelessness well
I’m your willing harem
I aimed, I’m right on target
It was close: just a scratch
In the hand of the shooter
The knives I myself allowed
...
A lion without a tamer
(Uh-ah)
A lion
...
A lion without a tamer
(Uh-ah)
A lion
...
Hey, baby, there's only one flavor
That entertains the hunter
It suits me that I’m an actor
As long as there’s a believer
I aimed, I’m right on target
It was close: just a scratch
In the hand of the shooter
The knives I myself allowed
A lion without a tamer
A lion
(Uh-uh)
(Uh-uh)
(Uh-uh)
...
