Hey yeah chalo na…Dhondhe seher nayaJahan muskurahtein hai bikhriJahan se gum ka mausam gayaJahan beeti baatein har ajnabi se ho
Bhulein hum bhi jo sari fikreinLamha lamha khushiyan bikhrein
Idhar udhar aur yahan wahan Jayein wohi dil kahein jahan
Baby baby baby
Kab tak phire hum dhadkaneDil jaise dhadake dhadakane doKyun hai koi aag dabiShola koi bhadake bhadakane do
Hey yeah chalo na…Gaaye naye naye geetKhel aisa kyun na koi khelenJis mein sab ki ho jeet
In dinon bhoolon taareinKoi bhi dekhta nahiDekhen unko deewane hoke koiKitna bhi humko tokeKhuli hawa ho khula samaJage hue ho sare armaaan
Baby baby baby
Kab tak phire hum dhadkaneDil jaise dhadake dhadakane doKyun hai koi aag dabiShola koi bhadake bhadakane do
Hum se dil ne kahi jo baateinAao maan leJispe chalta nahi hai koiRaah woh chalein
Thodi awaragi ho thodiThodi madshoiyan ho babyHum ho tum ho baby tell me
[Kab tak phire hum dhadkaneDil jaise dhadake dhadakane doKyun hai koi aag dabiShola koi bhadake bhadakane do] (3)
