Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Mister

Your eyes are full of hesitation

Sure makes me wonder

If you know what you're looking for

Umm, baby

I wanna keep my reputation

I'm a sensation

You try me once, you'll beg for more, ooh

Yes sir, I can boogie

But I need a certain song

I can boogie, boogie-woogie

All night long

Yes sir, I can boogie

If you stay, you can't go wrong

I can boogie, boogie-woogie

All night long

No, sir

I don't feel very much like talking

No neither walking

You wanna know if I can dance, ooh

Yes, sir

Already told you in the first verse

And in the chorus

But I will give you one more chance, ooh

Yes sir, I can boogie

But I need a certain song

I can boogie, boogie-woogie

All night long

Yes sir, I can boogie

If you stay, you can't go wrong

I can boogie, boogie-woogie

All night long

Yes sir, I can boogie

But I need a certain song

I can boogie, boogie-woogie

All night long

Yes sir, I can boogie

If you stay, you can't go wrong

I can boogie, boogie-woogie

All night long

Yes sir, I can boogie

But I need a certain song

I can boogie, boogie-woogie

All night long

Yes sir, I can boogie

If you stay you can't go wrong

I can boogie, boogie-woogie...
