[Verse 1: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas]
Yeah
Ooh-la-la, by the pool, yeah singing "Bailando"
Two long nights with the view, yeah
Keeping those blinds closed (Yeah)
She said, "I wanna find somebody by nightfall"
Ooh-na-na, could it be yeah
Baby, I like you
[Pre-Chorus: Joe Jonas]
Watching her move, I was lost in the rhythms
Then she pulled me close by the look in her eyes
Don't know her name, but I know that I need her
She said, "Boy, you won't be lonely tonight"
[Chorus: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]
She said, "Ooh-ooh-ooh"
Kiss me like your ex is in the room
Don't you be afraid of something new
If you play it right, you can be that someone
Yeah, that someone who
Won't leave me lonely tonight
[Post-Chorus: Joe Jonas]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas]
Ooh-la-la, make a move, yeah, baby, by last call
Full moon night with the lights up
Baby, your eyes glow (Yeah)
Don't know why but I feel like I'ma go psycho (Psycho)
Ooh-la-la, if it's cool, yeah, baby, I'd like to
[Pre-Chorus: Joe Jonas]
Watching her move I was lost in the rhythms
Then she pulled me close by the look in her eyes (huh!)
Don't know her name, but I know that I need her
She said, "Boy, you won't be lonely tonight"
[Chorus: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]
She said, "Ooh-ooh-ooh" (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Kiss me like your ex is in the room (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't you be afraid of something new
If you play it right, you can be that someone
Yeah, that someone who (Ha)
Won't leave me lonely tonight
[Verse 3: KAROL G]
Caliente, te pongo caliente (Ah)
No te de miedo vivir algo diferente (Eh, eh)
Las ganas no se equivocan (-vocan; eh)
Pon tu lengua en mi boca (Boca; eh)
Vive la vida loca, loca, loca, ah
[Pre-Chorus: KAROL G]
Toda la noche bailando contigo
Suave y salvaje como un animal
Yo sé que te gusta, pero esto es prohibido
Yo me voy contigo, dame la señal
[Chorus: Joe Jonas, KAROL G & Nick Jonas]
She said, "Ooh-ooh-ooh" (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Kiss me like your ex is in the room (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Don't you be afraid of something new
If you play it right, you can be that someone
Yeah, that someone who (Yeah, yeah, uh)
Won't leave me lonely tonight

Someone who
You won't be lonely tonight
