Lyrics[]
[Intro]
You can set me free...
[Verse 1]
I’m dynamite
I’m feeling right
I’m ready to love you
Don’t close your eyes
I will take you home tonight
Don’t worry, I’ll carry
[Pre-Chorus]
You just get to me (To me)
Moving to the music and the beat
You just get to me (To me)
I will be happy, happiness to me
[Chorus]
Only you can make me hot
Only you can get me high
You can set me free...
Only you can make me hot
Only you can get me high
You can set me free...
You can set me free...
[Verse 2]
I’m burning up and my body’s hot
I’m ready to love you
Straight to my heart
I will take you to the stars
I feel you, I need you
[Pre-Chorus]
You just get to me (To me)
Moving to the music and the beat
You just get to me (To me)
I will be happy, happiness to me
[Chorus]
Only you can make me hot
Only you can get me high
You can set me free...
Only you can make me hot
Only you can get me high
You can set me free...
Only you can make me hot
Only you can get me high
You can set me free...
Only you can make me hot
Only you can get me high
You can set me free...
You can set me free...
