[English]

Lord, forgive me

If I don't make it home tonight

Keep your angels with me

If I'm running from the-

Lights off, what just happened?

It's a chain reaction

Tap in, what you waiting for?

Turn it up, make it bounce

Hysteria in the crowd

Got the world in a trance

Hysteria, make 'em dance, dance, dance, dance

Turn it up, make it bounce

Hysteria in the club

Got the world in a trance

Hysteria, make 'em dance, dance, dance, dance, dance

Why you on the wall?

Meet me on the floor

Let's get elevated

'Cause, baby, Boaz made it

Turn that frown right upside down, and

Bang your head, don't kill the vibe

Put that shit in overdrive

Lights off, what just happened?

It's a chain reaction

Tap in, what you waiting for?

Turn it up (turn it up), make it bounce (make it bounce)

Hysteria in the crowd

Got the world in a trance

Hysteria, make 'em dance, dance, dance, dance

Turn it up (turn it up), make it bounce (make it bounce)

Hysteria in the club

Got the world in a trance

Hysteria, make 'em dance, dance, dance, dance, dance

(Dance)

(Dance) hysteria, make 'em dance, dance, dance, dance, dance

(Dance)

(Dance) hysteria, make 'em dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
