Hey, will you stand over there?
Or will you stand right here?
My scent will drive you
completely crazy!
Hey, will you fix your eyes on me?
Or will you lay your hands on me?
My body will make you
totally intoxicated!
Like an AK-47,
my gaze will shoot through you,
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Standing tall like the Eiffel Tower,
a man's body collapses,
Crash, crash, crash, crash!
To no one
do I belong, and yet
far away, far away
I never am!
Oh, I have no tricks,
none at all, effortlessly
at the slightest touch,
my fingers cast their hook!
Hey, will you stand over there?
Or will you stand right here?
My scent will drive you
completely crazy!
Hey, will you fix your eyes on me?
Or will you lay your hands on me?
My body will make you
totally intoxicated!
Whatever anyone says,
whatever anyone does,
oh my, my naughty mischief
is an endless charm!
Even if I stand before a mirror,
it instantly starts to sway!
If electricity touches me,
it gets shocked and dies!
I am intoxicating, potent stuff,
just looking at me drives you mad!
Everything is calculated,
and escaping past me,
no one has ever managed!
Never, ever,
never, ever,
never!
What, what, what...
Hey, will you stand over there?
Or will you stand right here?
My scent will drive you
completely crazy!
Hey, will you fix your eyes on me?
Or will you lay your hands on me?
My body will make you
totally intoxicated!
When they speak of the talk of the town,
it is always me, isn't it?
When the youth search online,
it is always my name, isn't it?
Even every law of the penal code
will stand with folded hands before me!
Even a crowd of holy men
will come knocking on my door!
Am I a gentle breeze,
a flash of lightning, or a cloud?
Oh, am I the sky, or the magic of a rainbow?
To no one
do I belong, and yet
far away, far away
I never am!
Oh, I have no tricks,
none at all, effortlessly
at the slightest touch,
my fingers cast their hook!
Hey, will you fix your eyes on me?
Will you lay your hand on me?
Will you lay your hand on me?
