[English]

Arrive at seven

The place feels good

No time to call you today

...

Encores till eleven

Then Chinese food

Back to the hotel again

...

I call your number

The line ain't free

I like to tell you come to me

A night without you

Seems like a lost dream

Love, I can't tell you how I feel

Always somewhere

Miss you where I've been

I'll be back to love you again

Always somewhere

Miss you where I've been

I'll be back to love you again

...

Another morning, another place

The only day off is far away

But every city

Has seen me in the end

And brings me to you again

Always somewhere

Miss you where I've been

I'll be back to love you again

...

Always somewhere

Miss you where I've been

I'll be back to love you again

...
