I lose all control when I see you

Standing there in front of me

Your style, your clothes, your hair

You fair woman, you look so sexy

De way you wine and, de way you dance

And de way that you twist and turn your waist

Leaves me wanting, leaves me yearning

Leaves me feelin for a taste

Before the end of the night (end of the night)

I wanna hold you so tight (hold you so tight)

You know I want you so much (want you so much)

And I'm so tempted to touch (I'm tempted)

Tempted to touch, tempted to touch

Little woman, man I need you so much

Ganas me dan ganas me dan de acarisiarla

por lo buena que esta

Tempted to touch, tempted to touch

Before the end of the night (Hasta que amanezca baby)

I wanna hold you so tight (voy agarrate fuerte)

You know I want you so much (yo te quiero baby)

And I'm so tempted to touch (pa que nuda lady)

Tempted to touch, tempted to touch
