Hoy!
Hit it like that, hit it, hit it!
Dazzle me with your eyes!
Hit it like this, hit it, hit it!
Pull me close with your hands!
To roam around town with you,
I'll hop on for a piggyback ride!
Covering your eyes,
I'm coming to play hide-and-seek!
Is this pace enough,
Or do you want a little more?
Is this pace enough,
Or do you want a little more?
Hey, is this pace enough,
Or do you want a little more?
Hit it like that, hit it, hit it!
Dazzle me with your eyes!
Hit it like this, hit it, hit it!
Pull me close with your hands!
Oh... hoo... ohh!
You linger in my thoughts,
Hey handsome!
You wake up in my dreams,
Hey, oh my!
You taste so sweet on my lips,
Is this really real?
Deep in my soul,
You beat like a pulse,
Hey beautiful!
You keep teasing my youth,
Hey, take it slow!
Your fragrance lingers on my neck,
Is this really love?
In the joy of seeing you,
I bloomed twice as much!
In the nervous fear of touching you,
I broke into a sweat three times!
On your cheeks,
For me to take a playful little bite,
Right next to my ear,
For you to give a sweet little bite!
Is this youthful excitement enough,
Or do you want a little more?
Is this youthful excitement enough,
Or do you want a little more?
Is this youthful excitement enough,
Or do you want a little more?
Hey, hit it like that, hit it, hit it!
Dazzle me with your eyes!
Hit it like this, hit it, hit it!
Pull me close with your hands!
You make me stammer,
You leave me breathless!
You gently make me hiccup,
You make me sweat!
You drain all my energy,
You make me wilt away!
Is this really fair... ahh...
You trap me,
You make me blush red!
You charm me so completely,
You make my head spin!
You light a fire so playfully,
You make my heart flutter with panic!
Is this right?
A single glance from you,
Threads through my heart like a needle and string, girl!
In your cute, uneven-toothed smile,
Ten moons burst with light, girl!
Dancing to the upbeat rhythm,
I will come along with you!
Chattering away playfully,
I will join right beside you!
Is this dance enough,
Or do you want a little more?
Is this dance enough,
Or do you want a little more?
Is this dance enough,
Or do you want a little more?
Hoy, hit it like that, hit it, hit it!
Dazzle me with your eyes!
Hit it like this, hit it, hit it!
Pull me close with your hands!
To roam around town with you,
I'll hop on for a piggyback ride!
Covering your eyes,
I'm coming to play hide-and-seek!
Is this pace enough,
Or do you want a little more?
Is this pace enough,
Or do you want a little more?
Hey, is this pace enough,
Or do you want a little more?
