[English]

Oh, I can't explain, every time, it's the same

Oh, I feel that it's real, take my heart

I've been lonely too long, oh, I can't be so strong

Take the chance for romance, take my heart

I need you so

There's no time I'll ever go

Cheri, cheri lady

Goin' through the motions

Love is where you find it

Listen to your heart

Cheri, cheri lady

Living in devotion

It's always like the first time

Let me take part

I get up, I get down, all my world turns around

Who is right? Who was wrong? I don't know

I've got pain in my heart, got love in my soul

Easy come, but I think it’s easy go

I need you so

All the times I move so slow

Cheri, cheri lady

Goin' through the motions

Love is where you find it

Listen to your heart

Cheri, cheri lady

Living in devotion

It's always like the first time

Let me take part

Cheri, cheri lady

Like there's no tomorrow

Take my heart, don't lose it

Listen to your heart

Cheri, cheri lady

To know you is to love you

If you call me baby

I'll be always yours
