Lyric
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Relax, kick your shoes off baby
Relax, here we are alone
Relax, if the phone rings, let it
Just forget it, we’re not at home
Let loose, let your hair down honey
Unwind, turn the lights down low
Relax, let’s uncork the stopper
Come to papa, come on let’s go
Defrost your charms
There’s only the two of us here
Come in my arms
And make yourself comfortable dear
Relax, let’s get cozy baby
Come on, let your concrete crack
Cut loose, when love knock’s invited
Don’t you fight it, come on relax
Defrost your charms
There’s only the two of us here
Come in my arms
And make yourself comfortable dear
Relax, let’s get cozy baby
Come on, huh, even concrete cracks
Cut loose, life is worth the livin’
When you’re givin’, come on relax
Relax
Mmm
Let loose
Mmm
Defrost
Mmm, mmm
