[English]

I know you love me, but not this much

I might be small, but I pack a punch

This love is madness, kinda savage

I'd do damage if anybody did you wrong

I'm in fact infatuated

This was not premeditated

I'm telling you the truth

I'd do time for you

I'd kill someone and bury the gun

I'd do anything just for your love

And my heart is breaking 'cause you won't do the same thing

I thought you and I were Bonnie and Clyde

Wish I could say you're not selfish, but

It's only ever you, it ain't ever us

Both our worlds, they revolve around you

Tell me how to make you less oblivious (ah)

I'm in fact infatuated (ah)

This was not premeditated (ah)

Darling, it's the truth

I'd do time for you

I'd kill someone and bury the gun

I'd do anything just for your love

And my heart is breaking 'cause you won't do the same thing

I thought you and I were Bonnie and Clyde

Come hell or high water, I will adore ya

Locked up in you, there's no way out

If loving you is a crime, darling, I'll do the time

I'm just a psycho for your love

I thought you and I were Bonnie and Clyde
