[English]

He-he-he-hey, come on

Drop the beat on us all night long

'Cause we're jonesin' for a song

So intense that it can't be wrong

D-DJ, some bass

Hit the button, initiate

Crank it up, no time to waste

We already took the bait

We see you in your booth, you're the puppeteer, so make us move

(You know my song, you so better get it on)

We need a new extreme, music cool as our attitude

(You know, know my song, you so better get it on)

What'cha dealin' with? There's a situation

Tickin' like a bomb, it's about to blow

We know you got the song, bring it on

Baby, let it go, go, go

(All the boys say) wind it up (all the girls say), wind it up

(All the boys say) wind it up (all the girls say), wind it up

More, come on and give us more

Drop the beat as sharp as a razor, sharp as a razor

(All the girls say) wind it up (all the boys say), wind it up

(All the girls say) wind it up (all the boys say), wind it up

More, come on and give us more

Drop the beat as sharp as a razor, sharp as a razor

Sippin' on the night, on the invitation in the light

(Wanna live it, wanna breathe it in)

The hunger of a crowd dyin' to kiss the world goodbye

(Wanna live it, wanna breathe it in)

What'cha dealin' with? There's a situation

Tickin' like a bomb, it's about to blow

We know you got the song, bring it on

Baby, let it go, go, go

(All the boys say) wind it up (all the girls say), wind it up

(All the boys say) wind it up (all the girls say), wind it up

More, come on and give us more

Drop the beat as sharp as a razor, sharp as a razor

(All the girls say) wind it up (all the boys say), wind it up

(All the girls say) wind it up (all the boys say), wind it up

More, come on and give us more

Drop the beat as sharp as a razor, sharp as a razor

He-he-he-hey, come on

Drop the beat on us all night long

'Cause we're jonesin' for a song

So intense that it can't be wrong

D-DJ, some bass

Hit the button, initiate

Crank it up, no time to waste

We already took the bait

The bait, the bait, the bait, bai-bai-bait

The bait, the bait, bai-bai-bai-bai-bait

(All the boys say) wind it up (all the girls say), wind it up

(All the boys say) wind it up (all the girls say), wind it up

More, come on and give us more

Drop the beat as sharp as a razor, sharp as a razor

(All the girls say) wind it up (all the boys say), wind it up

(All the girls say) wind it up (oh yeah)

(All the boys say) wind it up

(Oh) more, come on and give us more

Drop the beat as sharp as a razor, sharp as a razor
