Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yay, yay, yay, ow
Yay, yay, yay, ow
Yay, yay, yay, ow
[Verse 2]
You came, I was alone
I should have known
You were temptation
[Verse 3]
You sighed, leading me on
I should have known
You were temptation
[Verse 4]
It would be thrilling, if you were willing
But if it can never be
Well, then pity me
[Verse 5]
You were born to be kissed
I can't resist
You are temptation
[Verse 6]
(I'm yours, here is my heart)
(Take it and say, "We'll never part")
I'm just a slave, only a slave
[Verse 7]
Yay, yay, yay, ow
Yay, yay, yay, ow
Yay, yay, yay, ow
[Verse 8]
Yay, yay, yay, ow
Yay, yay, yay, ow
Yay, yay, yay, ow
Yay, yay, yay, ow
Yay, yay, yay, ow
