My body is magnified
In the sun, set me alight
My body and your delights
Burn me up, set me alight
I can’t deny, your desire
Feel like I’m on fire
When, you touch me
I feel the flame licking at my feet
Kiss you while the sun kisses me
Can you feel the heat on my skin?
Can you feel all my loving?
You and me
We’re standing on the sun
Can you feel my heart burning?
Can you feel all my good loving?
You and me
We’re standing on the sun
Feel everything
Standing on the sun
Feel everything
Standing on the sun
Feel everything
Standing on the sun
Feel everything
Standing on the sun
Let’s get to hugging and kissing
Don’t know the floor from the ceiling
We cook it up in the kitchen
Nobody hotter than you
You know that I twerk it
And give you something that’s worth it
But d-d-daddy that’s perfect
This ‘yoncé only for you
All that ocean, can’t you see it?
Mix up passion with fruit, sangria
BB Cubana, ay que lindo
Ya tu sabes camino como cocino, primo
There’s only one thing on my mind
I wanna love you long time
Want you to watch me while I wind
Want you to love me long time
We’re just having such a good time
Over and over we find
With the flame licking at my feet
Kiss you while the sun kisses me
Can you feel the heat on my skin?
Can you feel all my loving?
You and me
We’re standing on the sun
Can you feel my heart burning?
Can you feel all my good loving?
You and me
We’re standing on the sun
Feel everything
Standing on the sun
Feel everything
Standing on the sun
Feel everything
Standing on the sun
Feel everything
Standing on the sun
Your body turn up, me say “Turn up, turn up”
Gyal you hot like the sun, so you turn up, turn up
Your body turn up, me say “Turn up, turn up”
Gyal you like the sun, so you turn up, Beyonce
I can’t deny your desire
Feel like I’m on fire
When you touch me
I feel the flame licking at my feet, oh
Can you feel the heat on my skin?
Can you feel all my loving?
You and me
We’re standing on the sun
Can you feel my heart burning?
Can you feel all my good loving?
You and me
We’re standing on the sun
Feel everything
Standing on the sun
Feel everything
Standing on the sun
Feel everything
Standing on the sun
Feel everything
Standing on the sun
