What are the lyrics?

Oh, you got my heart beating rápido/You got the boom like an angel, oh/You got them hips like Shakira/Smile like Camila/Got me feeling Latino.

Dimelo, dimelo, dimelo/Dimelo, dimelo, dimelo/You got them hips like Shakira/Smile like Camila/Got me feeling Latino.

We were, two stepping on the dance floor/And now ya, still telling me you want more/Podemos bailar ’till ya feet sore/Tengo a few moves at a top drawer/I grab your hand, we start to step/We salsa dance and move correct/She got me in deep like a scuba/I’m telling she hotter than Cuba.

The way you move, the way you move/Makes me wanna get close to you/I had to Whatsapp my amigos/She moving like she from Puerto Rico.

Oh, you got my heart beating rápido/You got the boom like an angel, oh/You got them hips like Shakira/Smile like Camila/Got me feeling Latino.

Dimelo, dimelo, dimelo/Dimelo, dimelo, dimelo/You got them hips like Shakira/Smile like Camila/Got me feeling Latino.

Pulled up, turning up and it was you that I saw/Mamacita, nice to meet ya, started dancing some more/Back to the table couple drinks we’re just gonna pour/Then I whisper in her ear, “I’ve never seen you before”/Your body like an hourglass and now an hour pass/And now it’s getting dark, how about we just leave this bar/We can reach the stars, places/Me and you can go cruising see some in my car.

The way you move, the way you move/Makes me wanna get close to you/I had to Whatsapp my amigos/She moving like she from Puerto Rico.

Oh, you got my heart beating rápido/You got the boom like an angel, oh/You got them hips like Shakira/Smile like Camila/Got me feeling Latino.

Dimelo, dimelo, dimelo/Dimelo, dimelo, dimelo/You got them hips like Shakira/Smile like Camila/Got me feeling Latino.

Oh, it’s a party/Oh, it’s survival/Oh, it’s a party/Oh, it’s survival, oh.

You got them hips like Shakira/Smile like Camila/Got me feeling Latino.
