Damn these evening skies
Make my desires dry
Feelings like fire flies
Can’t you see it in my eyes
Damn these evening skies
Make my desires dry
Feelings like fire flies
Can’t you see it in my eyes
Maalai neram mayakkam
Thevai illai thayakkam
Hey there looking handsome
Minsara kanavae it’s your birthday
Ethikkum namthikkendru
Povom sernthu
Bhakthikul mukthikkum
Idhu paadhai endru
Othikke vaithukkul
Methaikkul pothikkol
Shakthikkul suththa seivam
Naanum neeyum
Othaikku othai thaan
Vithaikkul vithai thaan
Thathaikkul vekkam illai
Vaa vaa vazhvom
Muththam endral moththam ingae
Ethikkum namthikkendru
Povom sernthu
Bhakthikul mukthikkum
Idhu paadhai endru
Othikke vaithukkul
Methaikkul pothikkol
Shakthikkul suththa seivam
Naanum neeyum
Do yo want me?
Hey.. sollu yes no or maybe
Konjum chill pannu baby
Yosikadhae don’t be crazy
Kitta vaa and take it easy
Wanna break the buttons off your shirt
I’m a little rough but it won’t hurt
Unakkaga edho oru thirst.. thayangadhae
Don’t make me burst
You know my lips
Yeah they like to kiss
You know my hips
Not a beat we miss
Put your hands on me
And let’s get it on in
One two three let’s go
Pazhaga pazhaga varum ullasamae
Thazhuva thazhuva varum sandhoshamae
Padukkai araikkul idhu pandhatamae
Pazhangal malargal tharum poonthotamae
Edho ondru inge vandhu
Edukka solla pidithu kollum neramae
Neramae neramae neramae
Muththam endral moththam inge
Do you want me
Damn these evening skies
Make my desires dry
Feelings like fireflies
Can't you see it in my eyes?
Damn these evening skies
Make my desires dry
Feelings like fireflies
Can't you see it in my eyes?
The evening brings a dizzy trance
There is no need to hesitate
Hey there, looking handsome
Electric dream, it's your birthday
Claiming every direction as our own
Let us go together
From devotion to total bliss
Believing this is the way
Putting everything else aside
Wrapped up together in bed
Let us lose ourselves in our passion
You and I
Just one on one
Magic within magic
This girl has no shyness
Come, come, let us live
If it is a kiss, take all of me
Claiming every direction as our own
Let us go together
From devotion to total bliss
Believing this is the way
Putting everything else aside
Wrapped up together in bed
Let us lose ourselves in our passion
You and I
Do you want me?
Hey, tell me: yes, no, or maybe?
Just chill a bit, baby
Don't overthink, don't be crazy
Come closer and take it easy
Wanna break the buttons off your shirt
I'm a little rough, but it won't hurt
A thirst just for you... don't hesitate
Don't make me burst
You know my lips
Yeah, they like to kiss
You know my hips
Not a beat we miss
Put your hands on me
And let's get it on in
One, two, three, let's go
The more we get close, the sweeter the pleasure
The tighter we embrace, the greater the joy
Inside the bedroom, it is a playful game
A garden blooming with sweet fruits and flowers
Something stirs right here
Telling us to take it as the moment takes hold
It's the time, the time, the right time
If it is a kiss, take all of me
Do you want me?
