[English]

Your boots by the bed, my head on your shoulder

I'm thinking it's love and I'm thinking it sober

Boy, if your heart's a revolving door

Yeah, that's alright but I'm looking for more, yeah

If you're gonna love me, lay it on the table

Tell me how you really feel, give it a label

If you're gonna hold me, don't just hold me all night

Better hold me like you wanna hold me for the rest of your life

If you're gonna love me, better love me to the moon and back

From the bottom of your boots to the top of your hat

Blame it on you, not on some bourbon

The things that you're saying behind closed curtains

Go on and leave me 'fore it really hurts

If you don't mean it with those three words

If you're gonna love me, lay it on the table

Tell me how you really feel, give it a label

If you're gonna hold me, don't just hold me all night

Better hold me like you wanna hold me for the rest of your life

If you're gonna love me, better love me to the moon and back

From the bottom of your boots to the top of your hat

Ooh-ooh, oh, I'm fallin', fallin', fallin' fast for

You, oh, darlin', darlin', darlin'

If you're gonna love me, lay it on the table

Tell me how you really feel, give it a label

If you're gonna hold me, don't just hold me all night

Better hold me like you wanna hold me for the rest of your life

If you're gonna love me, better love me to the moon and back

From the bottom of your boots to the top of your hat

The bottom of your boots to the top of your hat

Yeah, babe, just like that
