[English]

NOW I'M ALL GONE

NOW I'M ALL GONE

NOW I'M ALL GONE

I'M GONE

I THOUGHT YOU'D ALWAYS BE MINE, MINE

LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, OH

LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, NO

BABY, BABY, BABY, OH

I THOUGHT YOU'D ALWAYS BE MINE, MINE

LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, OH

LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, NO

BABY, BABY, BABY, OH

ND NOW MY HEART IS BREAKIN', BUT I JUST KEEP ON SAYIN'

'CAUSE SHE WAS SO AMAZIN'

SHE KNOWS SHE GOT ME DAZIN'

BUT I REALLY WANNA SEE HER ON THE WEEKEND

AT SCHOOL ON THE PLAYGROUND

AND SKIP A BEAT WHEN I SEE HER IN THE STREET AND

SHE MADE MY HEART POUND

SHE WOKE ME UP DAILY, DON'T NEED NO STARBUCKS

SHE HAD ME GOIN' CRAZY, OH, I WAS STARSTRUCK

& NOBODY CAME BETWEEN US NOR COULD EVER COME ABOVE

THERE WAS NOBODY THAT COMPARED TO MY BABY

WHEN I WAS THIRTEEN, I HAD MY FIRST LOVE

I THOUGHT YOU'D ALWAYS BE MINE, MINE

LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, OH

LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, NO

BABY, BABY, BABY, OH

I THOUGHT YOU'D ALWAYS BE MINE, MINE

LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, OH

LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, NO

BABY, BABY, BABY, OH

AND I'M LIKE

AND I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE MY FIRST LOVE WON'T BE AROUND

I'M GOIN' DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN

AND JUST SHAKE ME 'TIL YOU WAKE ME FROM THIS BAD DREAM

AND I'M IN PIECES, BABY, FIX ME

I'LL BUY YOU ANYTHING, I'LL BUY YOU ANY RING

AND I WANNA PLAY IT COOL, BUT I'M LOSIN' YOU

AND I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE WE AIN'T TOGETHER

OH, FOR YOU, I WOULD'VE DONE WHATEVER

I THOUGHT YOU'D ALWAYS BE MINE, MINE

LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, OH

LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, NO

BABY, BABY, BABY, OH

I THOUGHT YOU'D ALWAYS BE MINE, MINE

LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, OH

LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, NO

BABY, BABY, BABY, OH

AND I WAS LIKE

MY FIRST LOVE BROKE MY HEART FOR THE FIRST TIME

SAID, "THERE'S ANOTHER", AND LOOKED RIGHT IN MY EYES

"WE'RE JUST FRIENDSÓ, WHAT ARE YOU SAYIN'?

ARE WE AN ITEM? GIRL, QUIT PLAYIN'

AND WE WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER BE APART

YOU ARE MY LOVE, YOU ARE MY HEAR

JUST SHOUT WHENEVER, AND I'LL BE THERE

YOU KNOW YOU LOVE ME, I KNOW YOU CARE

OH, WOAH

OH, WOAH

OH, WOAH
