[English]

Oh, my love

I know, I am a cold, cold man

Quite slow to pay you compliments

Or public displayed affections

But baby, don't you go over analyze

No need to theorize

I can put your doubts to rest

You're the only one worth seeing

The only place worth being

The only bed worth sleeping's the one right next to you

You're the only one worth seeing

The only place worth being

The only bed worth sleeping's the one right next to you

Oh, my love

I know you're used to desperate men

Who said the words that others said?

For too long, and for too often

But baby, you can lay off a little bit

No need to smother it

I can put your doubts to rest

You're the only one worth seeing

The only place worth being

The only bed worth sleeping's the one right next to you

You're the only one worth seeing

The only place worth being

The only bed worth sleeping's the one right next to you

...

You're the only one worth seeing

The only place worth being

The only bed worth sleeping's the one right next to you

You're the only one worth seeing

The only place worth being

The only bed worth sleeping's the one right next to you

...
