[English]

Here I am, there you are, why does it seem so far?

Next to you is where I should be (where I wanna be)

Something I want so bad, know what's inside your head

Maybe I could see what you see (tell me what you see)

I gotta keep on believing that everything takes time

I'll make up any reason to make you mine

If you're staying or leaving, I'll follow your lead

So why keep pretending? Open your eyes

I can be what you need

Any kind of guy you want, girl, that's the guy I'll be

Turn myself upside down (yes I will, yes I will)

Any kind of guy you want, girl, you know I'll agree

Turn your whole world around (yes I will, yes I will)

Any kind, any kind, any kind of guy you want

You decide, change your mind, I will be there

Won't you try one more time? Be my any kind of girl (be my girl!)

You decide, it's alright, I will be there (there)

You seem so hard to know, say goodbye, say hello

Then you say that it's time to go (now it's time to go)

Changing my point of view, everyday something new

Anything to get next to you (gonna get to you), oh-oh

I gotta keep on believing that everything takes time

I'll make up any reason to make you mine

If you're staying or leaving (staying or leaving), I'll follow your lead

So why keep pretending? Open your eyes (open your eyes)

I can be what you need (oh)

Any kind of guy you want, girl, that's the guy I'll be (that's the guy I'll be)

Turn myself upside down (yes I will, yes I will)

Any kind of guy you want, girl, you know I'll agree (you know I'll agree)

Turn your whole world around (yes I will, yes I will, oh-uh-whoa)

Any kind, any kind, any kind of guy you want

You decide, change your mind, I will be there (I'll be there!)

Won't you try one more time? Be my any kind of girl

You decide, it's alright, I will be there

Let me know if I'm getting through making you understand

If it's wrong, I'll try something new (try something new)

Don't look away, 'cause I'm here to stay

If it's a game, then I'm gonna play

Any kind of guy you want, girl, that's the guy I'll be (that's the guy I'll be)

Turn myself upside down (yes I will, yes I will)

Any kind of guy you want, girl, you know I'll agree (you know I'll agree)

Turn your whole world around (yes I will, yes I will)

Any kind, any kind, any kind of guy you want

You decide, change your mind, I will be there (I'll be there!)

Won't you try one more time? Be my any kind of girl

You decide, it's alright, I will be there

Bring it back

Any kind, any kind, any kind of guy you want (any kind of guy!)

You decide, it's alright, I will be there (there)
