[English]

I am so out of tune

I don't know what to do

Let me be with you

Cause I am so out of tune

Cause you got me right away

You got me right away

Got me right away

Like a cold summer breeze

As you roll over me

Like a cold summer breeze

As you roll over me, over me

Look at me I'm alone in my room

Can't you see I am so out of tune

Now we here, now we here

End of june, end of june

But I'm so, but I'm so out of tune

Cause you got me right away

You got me right away

Got me right away

Like a cold summer breeze

As you roll over me

Like a cold summer breeze

As you roll over me, over me

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

Like a cold summer breeze

As you roll over me

Like a cold summer breeze

As you roll over me, over me

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune

I am so out of tune
