[English]

Hand on my heart, I'm down on my knees

I'm asking you nicely

I'd take the blame, I'd take a bullet

Would you take one for me?

Bonnie and Clyde, ride 'til we die

Do it so carelessly

But open my mind, you start the fire

Watch it burn out and leave

If you know what It's like

to be reckless

You and I, we could fight

Us against the world

'Round my waist, on your neck

Like I'm legless

In the past, loveless

All fired up

And frustrated

Lost our minds

and our patience

Stay with me

I've done some changing

I'm waiting, I'm made for you baby

You can count on me

Washed all my sins

He perfectly fits into my darkest dreams

Run from my past, he's moving too fast

Love me eternally

Gun to my head, I'm already dead

If you think I would speak

My life at stake

No, nothing could break up me and my baby

'Cause we know what It's like

to be reckless

You and I, we still fight

Us against the world

'Round my waist, on your neck

Like I'm legless

In the past, lovele-e-ess

All fired up

And frustrated

Lost our minds

and our patience

Stay with me

I've done some changing

I'm waiting, I'm made for you baby

You still can-

All fired up

and frustrated

Lost our minds

and our patience

Stay with me

I've done some changing

I'm waiting, I'm made for you baby

You can count on me

I'm a slave to your game

I like it this way

A figure in darkness is calling my name

But I'm not the same, so baby I change

I like it this way

All fired up

And frustrated

Lost our minds

and our patience

Stay with me

I've done some changing

I'm waiting, I'm made for you baby

All fired up

And frustrated

Lost our minds

and our patience

Stay with me

I've done some changing

I'm waiting, I'm made for you baby

You can count on me

You can count on me

You can count on me

me
