[English]

I want to give you ninety-nine roses

I want to sing the words from my heart for you to hear

I love you, I'm willing, you don't have to be afraid

The true lovesick man is right here, that's me

Baby, how come you're dressed so hot?

Seeing you all winter makes me shiver

I'm a genuine, pure-hearted boy

Please, don't hesitate to give me a chance

The sun is blazing, traffic is stuck outside your place

I'll be your driver, taking you around

Do you want to eat at a fancy restaurant or a street stall?

As long as you're happy, I'll take care of everything

Even though there are many goddesses out there

In my heart, there's only you

I don't dare to dream of having your body

As long as your heart is with me, I'm okay

My love for you is truly real

Even the neighbors are gossiping about us

I’m not afraid of friends laughing at me for being foolish

Who can blame me for loving you? There's no way around it

I want to give you ninety-nine roses

I want to sing the words from my heart for you to hear

I love you, I'm willing, you don't have to be afraid

The true lovesick man is right here

I want to give you ninety-nine roses

I want to be your forever partner

I want to send a wedding invitation to your grandma's house

The true lovesick man is right here, that's me

My worth isn't any less than yours

Many girls really love me too

Every day, they come to my place for meals

I'm the one in their hearts, like Andy Lau

I'm afraid of getting drunk and making a fool of myself

So I've never had more than two drinks

I have two bodyguards to keep them away

I'm truly sorry for the girls who love me

Even though I have many admirers

I only want you, that's all

Even if they can have my body

My soul will always belong to you

My love for you isn't just talk

I don't just love you, I love your mom too

As long as you need me, just call me

From now on, you'll call me number one loudly

...

I want to give you ninety-nine roses

I want to sing the words from my heart for you to hear

I love you, I'm willing, you don't have to be afraid

The true lovesick man is right here

I want to give you ninety-nine roses

I want to be your forever partner

I want to send a wedding invitation to your grandma's house

The true lovesick man is right here, that's me

I want to give you ninety-nine roses

I want to sing the words from my heart for you to hear

I love you, I'm willing, you don't have to be afraid

The true lovesick man is right here

I want to give you ninety-nine roses

I want to be your forever partner

I want to send a wedding invitation to your grandma's house

The true lovesick man is right here, that's me

...

[Chinese]

我要送你九十九朵玫瑰花

我要唱心內的話乎你聽

我愛你我願意你不用怕

真正的癡情男子漢置這 就是我

北鼻你怎ㄟ穿尬這尼辣

看到你整冬天攏抹畏寒

我是正港純情的查埔孩

拜託你麥擱調剛給我引

日頭刺炎炎 塞車塞你家樓下

做你的司機帶你四處行

要吃西餐廳還是路邊攤仔

只要你歡喜帳攏我來繳

雖然外靠的女神有這尼多

但心內媽祖只有你一個

不敢來肖想得到你的肉體

只要你的心保庇我就ok

我對你的愛是真正有影

就連厝邊隔壁攏來探聽

不驚好朋友笑阮是憨孩

誰叫我愛你 沒有辦法

我要送你九十九朵玫瑰花

我要唱心內的話乎你聽

我愛你我願意你不用怕

真正的癡情男子漢置這

我要送你九十九朵玫瑰花

我要做你永遠的阿娜達

我要寄張喜帖到你阿嬤家

真正的癡情男子漢置這 就是我

我的行情也沒比你還差

也有很多姑娘攏很愛我

每天照三餐排置阮家樓下

我是怹心目中的劉德華

我怕酒醉來乎怹撿屍體

所以我從來不曾喝兩杯

保鑣帶兩個讓怹沒機會

愛我的姑娘實在真歹勢

假意我的七仔雖然有這尼多

但是我卡想只有你一個

就算說來乎怹得到我的肉體

但我靈魂永遠是你的

我愛你不是青菜說說而已

我不只愛你 我也愛你娘

只要你有需要 電話打乎我

以後你就會大聲來叫我 第一名

我要送你九十九朵玫瑰花

我要唱心內的話乎你聽

我愛你我願意你不用怕

真正的癡情男子漢置這

我要送你九十九朵玫瑰花

我要做你永遠的阿娜達

我要寄張喜帖到你阿嬤家

真正的癡情男子漢置這 就是我

我要送你九十九朵玫瑰花

我要唱心內的話乎你聽

我愛你我願意你不用怕

真正的癡情男子漢置這

我要送你九十九朵玫瑰花

我要做你永遠的阿娜達

我要寄張喜帖到你阿嬤家

真正的癡情男子漢置這 就是我
