You can look and admire, you can pluck the fruit
You can look and admire, you can pluck the fruit
Tasting it... you can taste and see
You can discover pleasure...
You can look and admire, you can pluck the fruit
Tasting it... you can taste and see
You can discover pleasure... ah...
The treasure in this mine of pleasure,
Don't you want to take it?
Why is there still distance between us?
Don't you feel any desire?
The treasure in this mine of pleasure,
Don't you want to take it?
Why is there still distance between us?
Don't you feel any desire?
The night will be so sweet,
Why do you still hesitate?
The night will be so sweet,
Why do you still hesitate?
Shall I satisfy your longing?
Shall I show you heaven?
You can look and admire, you can pluck the fruit
Tasting it... you can taste and see
You can discover pleasure... ah...
Upon my pearl-like lips,
I have filled sweet honey
Hoping you will kiss and take it,
I am aching with longing
Upon my pearl-like lips,
I have filled sweet honey
Hoping you will kiss and take it,
I am aching with longing
You can look and admire, you can pluck the fruit
You can look and admire, you can pluck the fruit
Tasting it... you can taste and see
You can discover pleasure...
