Iki o hisomete
Mimi mo to de sasayaite
Yoru ga sukoshi demo
Tsuzukuyou ni
Feelin' groovy

Jikan o kakenakya
Sutekina koto ni wa
Yoru ga sukoshi de mo
Tsuzukuyou ni
Feelin' groovy

Yoppi de asobou yo
Yoru wa kimi no kiss mitai sa
Shinzou ga tomaru hodo
Amai kiss
Always groovy

Iki hisomete
Mimi mo to de sasayaite
Yoru ga sukoshi demo
Tsuzukuyou ni
Feelin' groovy

------------------------------------
Lower your voice
Whisper in my ear
Keep the night going
Just a bit longer
Feelin' groovy

We should take our time
For wonderful things
To keep the night going
Just a bit longer
Feelin' groovy

Let's enjoy ourselves all night
The night is like your kiss
Your kiss is so sweet my
Heart stops beating
Always groovy

Lower your voice
Whisper in my ear
Keep the night going




Just a bit longer
Feelin' groovy
