[English]

At such a young age, I still don't understand what love is

Yet I'm defeated by your sweet smile

You blink your big eyes, oh so cute

Where should I place my hands while talking?

Every day in class and after class, I have your company

I like every second of it

The unsolvable geometric patterns and your blushing face

How many answers are there really?

I just want to give you, give you affection

Does this count as love?

I still can't quite understand

I want to share happy things with you

When I'm sad, I want to give you my shoulder

It's the first time I'm nervous for someone

I really want to give you, give you affection

It's only been a few weeks

Feeling down because you're not here

There's a light, warmly shining down

Can't help but have little expectations, because of love

...

At such a young age, I still don't understand what love is

Yet I'm defeated by your sweet smile

You blink your big eyes, oh so cute

I want to put you in my pocket

Actually, I have a good idea I'm planning

To tell you in ten years

Buy you the biggest house, the coolest car

Travel to every corner of the world (let's do it again)

I just want to give you, give you affection

Does this count as love?

I still can't quite understand

I want to share happy things with you

When I'm sad, I want to give you my shoulder

It's the first time I'm nervous for someone

I really want to give you, give you affection

It's only been a few weeks

Feeling down because you're not here

There's a light, warmly shining down

Can't help but have little expectations, because of love

Just looking at you, my face turns red as I breathe

In our hearts, you are my Disney

One two three Go, this is not just my show

Don't go, wait a moment, wait for me to hold your hand

Is it really love? Is it really love?

I'm a bit slow, my head isn't enough, oh

I think this is love

Clearly, this is love, I listen, watch, think, want, and hope you're happy enough, oh oh oh

I just want to give you, give you affection

Does this count as love?

I still can't quite understand

I want to share happy things with you

When I'm sad, I want to give you my shoulder

It's the first time I'm nervous for someone

I really want to give you, give you affection

It's only been a few weeks

Feeling down because you're not here

There's a light, warmly shining down

Can't help but have little expectations, because of love

I just want to give you, give you affection

Does this count as love?

I still can't quite understand

I want to share happy things with you

When I'm sad, I want to give you my shoulder

It's the first time I'm nervous for someone

I really want to give you, give you affection

It's only been a few weeks

Feeling down because you're not here

There's a light, warmly shining down

Can't help but have little expectations, because of love

[Chinese]

小小的年紀還不懂什麼是愛

卻被你甜甜的笑給打敗

你眨著大大的眼睛 Oh 那麼可愛

說話的手往哪兒擺

每一天上課下課都會有你的陪伴

每一秒內容我都很喜歡

解不開的幾何圖案 和你紅的臉

到底有多少個答案

我只想給你給你寵愛

這算不算不算愛

我還還還搞不明白

快樂的事想跟你分享

難過想給你肩膀

第一次為一個人緊張

我好想對你對你寵愛

才短短幾個禮拜

心情壞因為你不在

有一道光 暖暖的灑下來

忍不住的小期待 因為愛

小小的年紀還不懂什麼是愛

卻被你甜甜的笑給打敗

你眨著大大的眼睛 Oh 那麼可愛

好想把你裝進口袋

其實我有一個好的想法準備打算

留到十年以後再跟你說

給你買最大的房子 最酷的汽車

走遍世界每個角落(我們再來一遍)

我只想給你給你寵愛

這算不算不算愛

我還還還搞不明白

快樂的事想跟你分享

難過想給你肩膀

第一次為一個人緊張

我好想對你對你寵愛

才短短幾個禮拜

心情壞因為你不在

有一道光 暖暖的灑下來

忍不住的小期待 因為愛

就這樣看著你 臉紅紅的呼吸

在我們的心裡 你就是我的迪斯尼

One two three Go 這不只是我的show

你不要走 等一等候 等我能牽你的手

究竟是不是愛 到底是不是愛

我石頭木頭饅頭蔥頭腦袋不夠 oh

我想這就是愛

明明這就是愛 我聽你看你想你要你開心沒夠 oh oh oh

我只想給你給你寵愛

這算不算不算愛

我還還還搞不明白

快樂的事想跟你分享

難過想給你肩膀

第一次為一個人緊張

我好想對你對你寵愛

才短短幾個禮拜

心情壞因為你不在

有一道光 暖暖的灑下來

忍不住的小期待 因為愛

我只想給你給你寵愛

這算不算不算愛

我還還還搞不明白

快樂的事想跟你分享

難過想給你肩膀

第一次為一個人緊張

我好想對你對你寵愛

才短短幾個禮拜

心情壞因為你不在

有一道光 暖暖的灑下來

忍不住的小期待 因為愛
