Yea, yea, yea, yea, yeah

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yeah

Something coming over me tonight

輕輕一笑預告加速度離開

想到你笑臉 can't wait

Thinking of you all day

沒目的終點 my way

Baby, I will be right there

月光被放大 it's a mood yeah

Don't stop, we can cruise

Bet you like it, you love it

Let's get involved

馳騁在無人地帶

引擎低聲劃過沿海

I'ma pick you up in my new ride and we riding

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yeah

You be giving me that new vibe and I like it

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yeah

So let me come through now

Do what you wanna do now

In my new ride, new ride, yeah

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yeah

Let me just stop for a minute

臉上泛紅著溫熱

Taking this love to the limit

這是我唯一深刻

Wanna be your lover 是否今晚實現?

Oh, you drive me crazy

You just don't understand

Leaving me mesmerised

趕不上心跳節拍

就讓速度慢了 tonight

I'ma pick you up in my new ride and we riding

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yeah

You be giving me that new vibe and I like it

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yeah
