[English]

I don't wanna be in the world without you

Baby, I don't wanna let you out my sight

I don't wanna-, I don't wanna ever break away from you

Or the light might go away, I need you in my life

Let my smile bring you peace of mind

Burnin' desire when you

Throw your arms all around me

Need to feel all your passion

You and I create magic

I discovered wholeness

When you look me in my eyes

I see further than hindsight

Take me out my mind (oh, oh)

Take me out my mind (oh, oh)

You take me to bliss

Never found a love like this

Never found it, never found it

You take me to bliss

Never felt a love like this

Never found it, never found it

Lovely Paradise

You're the Coke to my Hennessy

Every turn leads you back to me (yeah)

Burnin' desire when you

Throw your arms all around me

Need to feel all your passion

You and I create magic

I discovered wholeness

When you look me in my eyes

I see further than hindsight

Take me out my mind (oh, oh)

Take me out my mind (oh, oh)

You take me to bliss

Never felt a love like this

Never found it, never found it

You take me to bliss

Never felt a love like this

Never found it, never found it

Lovely paradise

(You take me to bliss) I don't wanna be in the world without you

(Never felt a love like this) baby, I don't wanna let out my sight

I don't wanna, I don't wanna break away from you (you take me to bliss)

Or the light might go away, I need you in my life
