[English]

Dear, love is a burning fire

Stay, 'cause then the flames grow higher

Babe, don't let him steal your heart

It's easy, easy

Girl, this game can't last forever

Why we cannot live together

Try, don't let him take your love from me

You're no good, can't you see Brother Louie, Louie, Louie

I'm in love, set her free

Oh, she's only looking to me

Only love breaks her heart Brother Louie, Louie, Louie

Only love's paradise

Oh, she's only looking to me

Brother Louie, Louie, Louie

Oh, she's only looking to me

Oh, let it Louie

She is undercover

Brother Louie, Louie, Louie

Oh, doing what he's doing

So, leave it Louie

'Cause I'm her lover

Stay, 'cause this boy wants to gamble

Stay, love is more than he can handle, girl

Oh, come on stay by me forever, ever

Why does he go on pretending

That, his love is never ending fate

Don't let him steal your love from me

You're no good, can't you see Brother Louie, Louie, Louie

I'm in love, set her free

Oh, she's only looking to me

Only love breaks her heart Brother Louie, Louie, Louie

Only love's paradise

Oh, she's only looking to me

Brother Louie, Louie, Louie

Oh, she's only looking to me

Oh, let it Louie

She is undercover

Brother Louie, Louie, Louie

Oh, doing what he's doing

So, leave it Louie

'Cause I'm her lover

Brother Louie, Louie, Louie

Oh, she's only looking to me

Oh, let it Louie

She is undercover

Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
