[English]

I'm buzzing, let's drink up

You def' look like big fun

Come on, let's get it on

Like that Marvin Gaye song

I'm stunning, you love it

Come on, give me something

I know that you want it

Come on, give me something

The night is young and so are we

So, maybe you should leave with me

The night is young and so are we, baby

The night is young, so let's have some fun

If you love me right, yeah

This could be the summer of our lives now, honey

Give it to me like you know you should now, baby

This could be the summer of our lives

The summer of our lives

This sunset's so fire

Tell me your desires

We're not getting tired

Baby, take me higher

I'm stunning, you love it

Come on, give me something

I know that you want it, boy

The night is young and so are we (so are we)

So, maybe you should leave with me (leave with me)

The night is young and so are we, baby

The night is young, so let's have some fun

If you love me right, yeah

This could be the summer of our lives now, honey

Give it to me like you know you should now, baby

This could be the summer of our lives

The summer of our lives

Give it to me, baby, all night

We can keep on dancing all night

Give it to me, baby, all night

Give it to me, baby, all night

We can keep on dancing all night

Give it to me, baby, all night

(If you love me right, yeah)

(Oh-whoa)

If you love me right, yeah

This could be the summer of our lives now, honey

Give it to me like you know you should now, baby (oh)
