I want to take all of your heart. Don't you worry. So soon, you have my world.” Bare-chested Kai also invites his lover in almost a writhing tone in the chorus, "You make me feel so. Mm-mhm. Breathe out and exhale like. Mhm. Beyond the boundary like. Mm-mhm. Hold you in my arms like.. Mhm. Don’t even think about other things" – clearly meant to raise the temperature with this one.
