[English]

Hey, come on, let's go!

Oh, how I want to eat you up

Oh, how I'm going to eat you

That pretty little face

Looks like a lump of honey

Looks like a lump of honey

Oh, how I want to eat you up

Oh, how I'm going to eat you

That tiny little mouth

Seems like it's made of crepe

Seems like it's made of crepe

Oh, how I want to eat you up

Oh, how I'm going to eat you

I'm so in love

I'm so in love

With the way you are

Oh, how I want to eat you up

Oh, how I'm going to eat you

Hey, come on, let's go!

Oh, how I look at you and look at you

Oh, how I'm going to look at you

Those little eyes where I see

Are two mirrors of the sea

Are two mirrors of the sea

Oh, how I look at you and look at you

Oh, how I'm going to look at you

Your beauty is so divine

That I can't ask for more

That I can't ask for more

Oh, how I look at you and look at you

Oh, how I'm going to look at you

I'm so in love

I'm so in love

With the way you are

Oh, how I want to eat you up

Oh, how I'm going to eat you

Hey, come on, let's go!

Oh, how I love you and love you

Oh, how I'm going to love you

Because I love you madly

And you love me too

And you love me too

Oh, how I love you and love you

Oh, how I'm going to love you

And you are my true love

And you are my reason to be

And you are my reason to be

Oh, how I love you and love you

Oh, how I'm going to love you

I'm so in love

I'm so in love

With the way you are

Oh, how I want to eat you up

Oh, how I'm going to eat you

Hey, come on, let's go!

Oh, how I like it, I like it

Oh, how I like to dream

I dream that we are happy

That nothing will separate us

That nothing will separate us

Oh, how I like it, I like it

Oh, how I like to dream

I dream with the thought

It takes me where you are

It takes me where you are

Oh, how I like it, I like it

Oh, how I like to dream

I'm so in love

I'm so in love

With the way you are

Oh, how I want to eat you up

Oh, how I'm going to eat you
