[Verse 1]
From the back of the room, you were holding my glance
I was tryna be cool but I can't really dance
Is it something to do with the way that you move?
In a matter of seconds, I'm falling for you, for you
Are you the one I came for? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I think I'm gonna get to know ya
But does it leave me vulnerable (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
If I make a beeline for ya?
[Pre-Chorus]
(Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful boy)
I could stand and admire, or give in to desire
(Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful boy)
Feeling shier and shier, think I'll call it a night
[Chorus]
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
I leave my light on
I'm Atletico, but I'm back here on my own
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
I leave my light on
Why'd I let you go?
Now I'm back here on my own
[Verse 2]
From the comfort of my home, I am picturing you
And I should've said something, but I thought it was cool
To be looking unfazed by the way that you move
I don't need to reflect 'cause I'm regretting not speaking to you
[Pre-Chorus]
(Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful boy)
Tell me where will I find you, so we can combine
(Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful boy)
I hope you're guarded by the night, I'll leave on my light
[Chorus]
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
I leave my light on
I'm Atletico, but I'm back here on my own
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
I leave my light on
Why'd I let you go?
Now I'm back here on my own
[Post-Chorus]
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Yeah, you are the only one
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Yeah, you are the only one
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Yeah, you are the only one
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Yeah, you are the only one
[Chorus]
I leave my light on
I'm Atletico, but I'm back here on my own
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
I leave my light on
Why'd I let you go?
Now I'm back here on my own
[Outro]
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Yeah, you are the only one
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Yeah, you are the only one
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Yeah, you are the only one
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Yeah, you are the only one
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Yeah, you are the only one
(I leave my light on)
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Yeah, you are the only one
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Yeah, you are the only one
(I leave my light on, why'd I let you go?)
Yeah, you are the only one
Yeah, you are the only one
Yeah, you are the only one
Yeah, you are the only one
