Descemer

I look at you and it takes my breath away.

When you look at me, my heart skips a beat.

My heart slowly beats.

And in the silence your look says a thousand words (uh).

The night when I'm begging you not to let the sun come up.

Dancing (dancing),

dancing (dancing),

your body and mine filling the place,

up and down (up and down).

Dancing (dancing),

dancing (dancing),

The fire inside me is driving me crazy,

taking me over.

With your physics and your chemistry, and your anatomy,

beer and tequila, and your mouth on mine,

I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore)

I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore).

With this tune, your colour, your fantasy,

with your philosophy my head is empty.

And I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore).

I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore).

I want to be with you,

live with you, dance with you,

have a crazy night with you.

(a crazy night)

Oh, to kiss your mouth (and kiss your mouth).

I want to be with you,

live with you, dance with you,

have a crazy night with you

getting off our heads

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

You look at me and take me to another dimension.

(I'm in another dimension).

Your heartbeat makes my heart race.

(Your heartbeat makes my heart race).

What irony of fate not being able to touch you (oh!).

Embrace you and feel the magic of your smell.

Dancing (dancing),

dancing (dancing),

your body and mine filling the place,

up and down (up and down).

Dancing (dancing),

dancing (dancing),

The fire inside me is driving me crazy,

taking me over.

With your physics and your chemistry, and your anatomy,

beer and tequila, and your mouth on mine

I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore).

I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore).

With this tune, your colour, your fantasy,

with your philosophy my head is empty.

And I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore),

I can't take it anymore (I can't take it anymore).

I want to be with you,

live with you, dance with you,

have a crazy night with you (a crazy night).

Oh, to kiss your mouth (and kiss your mouth)

I want to be with you, live with you, dance with you,

have a crazy night with you

getting off our heads.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh (dancing love).

Oh, oh, oh, oh (dancing love).

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

(My pain is going away). Oh, oh, oh, oh.
