Yeah, you know I’ve been watching you for a while now
I’ve gotta dance with you today
I saw your look was calling me
Show me the path I’m on
You, you’re the magnet and I’m the metal
I’m getting closer and hatching a plan
Just thinking about it gets my pulse racing (oh yeah)
I like her more than usual now
All my senses are begging for more
Gotta take this without any hurry
Slowly
I wanna breathe in your neck slowly
Let me whisper in your ear
So that you remember if you’re not with me
Slowly
I wanna undress you slowly with kisses
Slowly
Sign on the walls of your labyrinth
And make your whole body a manuscript
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
I wanna see your hair dance
I wanna be your rhythm
Show my mouth your favorite places (favorite, baby favorite)
Let me surpass your danger zones
Until I make you scream
And you forget your last name
If I ask you for a kiss, come and give it to me
I know you’re thinking about it
I’ve been trying for a while
Baby this is giving and giving it
You know you’re heart with me makes you go boom boom
You know that baby is looking for my boom boom
Come and try my mouth to see what it tastes of
I wanna, wanna, wanna, see how much love fits inside you
I got no hurry, I wanna take a journey
Let’s start slowly then get wild
step by step, softly, softly
Let’s get closer and closer, little by little
When you kiss me with such dexterity
I see you’re mischief mixed with delicacy
Step by step, softly, softly
Let’s get closer and closer, little by little
That beauty is a jigsaw puzzle
But here I got the missing piece
Slowly
I wanna breathe in your neck slowly
Let me whisper in your ear
So that you remember if you’re not with me
Slowly
I wanna undress you slowly with kisses
Slowly
Sign on the walls of your labyrinth
And make your whole body a manuscript
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
I wanna see your hair dance
I wanna be your rhythm
And for you to show my mouth your favorite places (favorite, baby favorite)
Let me surpass your danger zones
Until I make you scream
And you forget your last name
Slowly
We’re gonna do it on a beach in Puerto Rico
Until the waves shout oh my god!
So my seed stays with you
Step by step, softly, softly
Let’s get closer and closer, little by little
Show my mouth your favorite places (favorite, baby favorite)
Step by step, softly, softly
Let’s get closer and closer, little by little
Until I make you scream
And you forget your last name
Slowly
Step by step, softly, softly
Let’s get closer and closer, little by little
Step by step, softly, softly
Let’s get closer and closer, little by little

Not Shakespeare, but fun anyway.
Far from it. Kinda catchy but I’m not too into it either. Thought I’d translate the lyrics just for the sake of it.. It’s the most watched video ever on YouTube.
