[English]

You’re a little bit like me a little god damn crazy

Like limousines and roundabouts we never help each other out

It’s a real shame baby But that’s just how love goes down

Since you stopped calling me baby Things been a little bit shady Been jumping out of aeroplanes

Racing in the fastest lanes   No use tryna save me Cos that’s just how love goes down

But what am I supposed to do with all this love? What am I supposed to do with all this love?

Oh my God I swear it’s building up So what am I supposed to do with all this love?

All this love All this Love All this love All this love

Friends don’t call back lately Guess they’re tired of crazy

They say I’m nothing like before Said I’m going overboard

Hey but can they blame me? Cos see the way that love goes down  

But what am I supposed to do with all this love? What am I supposed to do with all this love?

Oh my God my God it’s building up So what am I supposed to do

With All this love

All this Love All this Love All this love

All my love, I just can't shake it

All my love, I just can't take it, I just can't take it

But what am I supposed to do with all this love?

What am I supposed to do with all this love?

Oh my god my god it’s building up So what am I supposed to do with all this love?

All this Love All this Love All this Love All this Love

Love Love Love Love

Love Love Love Love

All this Love

All this Love

All this Love

All this Love
