[English]

Don't lie to me, like you don't like this

I know you see me when you close your eyes

Baby, please, why you tryna fight it?

Don't be a tease

And won't you stop denying all this tension?

Come move in my direction

I'll make your dreams come to life (to life)

And when they ask you, you can tell them that I, I

I'm your guilty pleasure (pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, yeah)

I'm your guilty pleasure (pleasure, pleasurе, pleasure)

So come and gеt it, get it, all you gotta do's admit it

I'm your guilty pleasure (pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, yeah)

It's all on you, leave it or take it

Make your move, but make it back tonight

What you gon' do? 'Cause I'm sick of waiting (waiting)

Get out your mood

And won't you stop denying all this tension?

Come move in my direction

I'll make your dreams come to life (to life)

And when they ask you, you can tell them that I, I

I'm your guilty pleasure (pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, that's right)

I'm your guilty pleasure (pleasure, pleasure, pleasure)

So come and get it, get it, all you gotta do's admit it

I'm your guilty pleasure (pleasure, pleasure, pleasure)

I know what drives you crazy

Wish I could be your baby

I make your mind go filthy

And that's what makes you guilty (pleasure, pleasure, pleasure)

I know what drives you crazy

Wish I could be your baby

I make your mind go filthy

And that's what makes you guilty

Won't you stop denying all this tension?

Come move in my direction

I'll make your dreams come to life (to life)

And when they ask you, you can tell them that I, I

I'm your guilty pleasure (pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, yeah)

I'm your guilty pleasure (pleasure, pleasure, pleasure)

So come and get it, get it, all you gotta do's admit it
