It's sensational

The way she does it to me

It's out of the ordinary

I'm in the danger zone

She went kissing my mouth

With her hand on my nape

This babe provokes, her booty pulses

Comes sliding (go)

That I'm liking (come)

She asks me (more), doesn't stop now (my dear)

And comes sitting sweetly for daddy

And comes playing sideways, baby

Comes sliding (go)

That I'm liking (come)

She asks me (more), doesn't stop now, my dear

And comes sitting sweetly for daddy

And comes playing sideways, baby

And comes sliding (go)

That I'm liking (come)

She asks me (more), doesn't stop now (my dear)

And comes sitting sweetly for daddy

And comes playing sideways, baby

Make the L, make the L

Sensational

The way she does it to me

It's out of the ordinary

I'm in the danger zone

She went kissing my mouth

With her hand on my nape

This babe provokes, her booty pulses

Comes sliding (go)

That I'm liking (come)

She asks me (more), doesn't stop now (my dear)

And comes sitting sweetly for daddy

And comes playing... (call in the swing!)

Comes sliding (go)

That I'm liking (come)

She asks me (more), doesn't stop now (my dear)

Comes sitting sweetly for daddy

Comes playing sideways, baby

Comes sliding (go)

That I'm liking (come)

She asks me (more), doesn't stop now, my dear

And comes sitting sweetly for daddy

Comes playing sideways, baby

É sensacional

O jeito que ela faz comigo

É fora do normal

Eu tô na zona de perigo

Foi beijando minha boca

Com a mão na minha nuca

Essa bebê provoca, a bunda dela pulsa

Vem deslizando (vai)

Que eu tô gostando (vem)

Ela me pede (mais), não para não (meu bem)

E vem sentando gostosinho pro pai

E vem jogando de ladinho, neném

Vem deslizando (vai)

Que eu tô gostando (vem)

Ela me pede (mais), não para não, meu bem

E vem sentando gostosinho pro pai

E vem jogando de ladinho, neném

E vem deslizando (vai)

Que eu tô gostando (vem)

Ela me pede (mais), não para não (meu bem)

E vem sentando gostosinho pro pai

E vem jogando de ladinho, neném

Faz o L, faz o L

Sensacional

O jeito que ela faz comigo

É fora do normal

Tô na zona de perigo

Foi beijando minha boca

Com a mão na minha nuca

Essa bebê provoca, a bunda dela pulsa

Vem deslizando (vai)

Que eu tô gostando (vem)

Ela me pede (mais), não para não (meu bem)

E vem sentando gostosinho pro pai

E vem jogando... (chama no swing!)

Vem deslizando (vai)

Que eu tô gostando (vem)

Ela me pede (mais), não para não (meu bem)

Vem sentando gostosinho pro pai

Vem jogando de ladinho, neném

Vem deslizando (vai)

Que eu tô gostando (vem)

Ela me pede (mais), não para não, meu bem

E vem sentando gostosinho pro pai

Vem jogando de ladinho, neném
