Oh I cannot explain

Every time its the same

More I feel that its real

Take my heart

I've been lonely to 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

Going through emotion

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 a part

Cheri cheri lady

Like theres 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

...

I get up - I get down

All my world turns around

Who is right who is wrong

I don't know

...

I've got pain in my heart

Got some love in my soul

Easy come but I think easy go

...

I need you so

Although times

I move so slow

Cheri cheri lady

Going through emotion

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 a part

Cheri cheri lady

Like theres 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

Key Grammar Structures

• Oh I cannot explain

  ➔ Modal verb 'cannot' expressing inability.

  ➔ The use of 'cannot' shows the speaker is unable to articulate their feelings. It's a common way to express being overwhelmed by emotion. The sentence structure is simple Subject-Verb-Object.

• More I feel that it's real

  ➔ Comparative adjective 'More' modifying the verb 'feel', followed by a 'that'-clause.

  ➔ The sentence uses 'more' to indicate an increasing intensity of feeling. The 'that'-clause functions as the object of the verb 'feel'. The structure is slightly unconventional but common in song lyrics.

• Take my heart

  ➔ Imperative mood - a direct command.

  ➔ This is a direct plea or request. The imperative form is concise and emphasizes the speaker's desire.

• I've been lonely too long

  ➔ Present perfect tense ('have been') indicating a state continuing from the past.

  ➔ The present perfect emphasizes the duration of the loneliness. 'Too long' is an adverbial phrase modifying 'lonely', indicating an excessive period.

• Take the chance for romance take my heart

  ➔ Imperative mood repeated for emphasis; use of 'for' to indicate purpose.

  ➔ The repetition of 'take my heart' reinforces the speaker's vulnerability and eagerness. 'For romance' explains the reason for taking the chance.
