You are making eyes at me, don't hesitate and come to woo.

You can court me all night; it's on you I'll practise my voodoo.

Take me upstairs, button after button, don't dither and undo.

Unfasten them to see the pure within me, just follow through.

You confess you make love with others, but it's me you're into.

There are women you are crazy about, but it's me you dip into.

When you hold them in your arms you always have a déjà vu.

You look suspicious at night when you walk down my avenue.

Do not feign or say it is untrue, I can always see through you.

You can playact if you want; I already know you play the field.

You fly from a nest to another; you know mine is still unsealed.

Come to finish what you started, light a fire, make me ablaze.

Tell me a guilty pleasure, rumour has it you swing both ways.

They talk about the birds and the bees, we know how it is.

Don't listen to them, come to me and get on your knees.

Don't be fidgety, it comes naturally, I want to see you at ease.

Light the matches and let them burn like it is your expertise.

Don't fret if you get overexcited, I am always here to appease.

You promise to show me around Taipei and take me overseas,

but I don't need to see it, I have already got my Taiwanese,

so just set me on fire, turn me on and take me as you please.

When you are alight on top of me, then you feel released.

When you are so close you are out of breath, you wheeze.

If you cool down when you finish, you know who to squeeze.

Next time you come to me don't say it's untrue, just in case...

Come to restart what we finished, you will want to be ablaze.
