Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm so into you, I can barely breathe
And all I wanna do, is to fall in deep
But close ain't close enough, 'til we cross the line, yeah
So name a game to play, and I'll roll the dice, hey
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh baby, look what you've started
The temperature's rising in here
Is this gonna happen?
Been waitin' and waitin' for you to make a move
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Before I make a move
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
So baby come light me up, and maybe I'll let you on it
A little bit dangerous, but baby that's how I want it
A little less conversation, and a little more touch my body
'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you
Got everyone watchin' us, so baby let's keep this secret
A little bit scandalous, but baby don't let them see it
A little less conversation, and a little more touch my body
'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you
[Verse 2]
(Oh yeah)
This could take some time, hey
Made too many mistakes, better get this right (right, baby)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh baby, look what you've started
The temperature's rising in here
Is this gonna happen?
Been waitin' and waitin' for you to make a move
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Before I make a move
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
So baby come light me up, and maybe I'll let you on it
A little bit dangerous, but baby that's how I want it
A little less conversation, and a little more touch my body
'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you
Got everyone watchin' us, so baby let's keep this secret
A little bit scandalous, but baby don't let them see it
A little less conversation, and a little more touch my body
'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you
[Bridge]
Tell me what you came here for
'Cause I can't, I can't wait no more
I'm on the edge and no control
And I need, I need you to know (you to know)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah)
[Chorus]
So baby come light me up, and maybe I'll let you on it
A little bit dangerous, but baby that's how I want it
A little less conversation, and a little more touch my body
'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you
Got everyone watchin' us, so baby let's keep this secret
A little bit scandalous, but baby don't let them see it
A little less conversation, and a little more touch my body
'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you
[Outro]
So come light me up, so come light me up my baby
A little dangerous, a little dangerous my baby
A little less conversation, and a little more touch my body
'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you
