[English]

drunk on wine. I said, "Please  stay the night right here with  

me. Lay me down on the floor. You  were silent and locked the door.

I can't believe somehow I went my whole  life without your name on my lips.  

without my heart on the line. Now at a minute I  could spend every night without any other place  

until I die. I think I'm addicted to your  hands on my hips. I think it's the first  

time that I know what I need. And I want you  so bad. so bad that I'm scared that now I'll  

know how good it is if you ever leave. No one  doesn't like you do knowing every part of me.  

No one doesn't like you do the way you love me.  Morning light on your face. Don't get up yet.  

hesitate cuz I I can't believe somehow I win my  whole life. So put your name on my lips and put  

your heart next to mine. Now that we're in it, I  could spend every night without any other advice  

until I die. I think I'm addicted to your hands  on my hips. I think it's the first time that I  

know what I need. And I want you so bad. So bad  that I'm scared that now I know how good it is  

if you ever leave. No one does it like you do.  Knowing every part of me, no one does like you  

do the way you love me. No one doesn't like you.  knowing every part of me. No one does it like you  

do. I think I'm addicted to your hands on my  hips. I think it's the first time that I know  

what I need. And I want you so bad. So bad that  I'm scared that now I'll know how good it is if  

you ever leave. No one does it like you do. Not  every part of me. No one does it like you do. The  

way you love me like you do. Not every part of me.  No one does it like you do the way you love me.
