[English]

Oh, I cannot 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 a motion

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 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

...

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 a love in my soul

Easy come, but I think

Easy go

I need you so

All the times I move so slow

Cheri, cheri lady

Goin' through a motion

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 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

...

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 yours

...

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 yours

...
