[English]

It's 12 past midnight,

don't close your eyes

Your soul's half alive,

and I'll be by your side

I've come to take you there,

show you how to care

Just be aware,

that you'll have to share

I want your love,

I want it tonight

I'm taking your heart,

so don't you fight

I'll be your answer,

I'll be your wish

I'll be your fantasy,

your favorite dish

From the back to the middle and around again

I'm gonna be there til the end

100%

Your love

From the back to the middle and around again

I'm gonna be there til the end

100%

pure love

You felt a brand new high,

thought that you could fly

Did I hear you cry,

or did you like the ride?

You call my name again

No, it's not a sin

I'll show you how to win

And where I've been

I want your love

I want it tonight

I'm taking your heart

So don't you fight

I'll be your answer,

I'll be your wish

I'll be your fantasy,

your favorite dish

From the back to the middle and around again

I'm gonna be there til the end

100%

pure love

From the back to the middle and around again

I'm gonna be there til the end

100%

pure love

You'll never have to run away

You'll always have a friend to play

You'll never go out on your own

In me you will find a home,

From the back to the middle and around again

I'm gonna be there til the end

From the back to the middle and around again

I'm gonna be there til the end

100%

pure love

From the back to the middle and around again

I'm gonna be there til the end

100%

pure love
