[English]

Oh, I know why you're chasing all the headlights

...

Oh, 'cause you're always trying to get ahead of the light

Baby when you go

You know I'll be waiting on the other side

And I know it's cold

But if you stay then I could keep you warm at night

...

Don't be a fool for the city nights

...

I know it's cool but it's only light

...

Baby with you I can never lie

...

Don't go chasing all the headlights

Oh, I could feel the beating of your heartache drum

Oh, don't know if I'm dreaming or if you've gone

Every time you go

Hits me like a bullet from a golden gun

Yeah I know it's cold

But if you stay then I could give you all my love

Don't be a fool for the city nights

...

I know it's cool but it's only light

...

Baby with you I can never lie

...

So, don't go chasing all the headlights

...

Don't be a fool for the city nights

...

I know it's cool but it's only light

...

Baby with you I can never lie

...

So, don't go chasing all the headlights

...
