[English]

You're my baby

You're the only one

You drive me crazy

But I still miss you when you're gone

Every second, every hour

...

It's in your nature

To light me up

I love to hate ya

But I can't stand it when you're gone

So I call you once every hour

You got the love I always needed

Tie me to horses and I still wouldn't leave ya

But you're not an easy lover

You're a wildfire

And I'm in your path

I've decided I wanna keep on dancing in the ashes

And so I call out

Let it burn

You got the love I always needed

Tie me to horses and I still wouldn't leave ya

But you're not an easy lover

No I just can't give you up

No I just can't give you up

No I just can't give you up

No I just can't give you up

But you're not an easy lover

You got the love I always needed

Tie me to horses

I still wouldn't leave ya

Tell 'em, B

But you're not an easy lover

You make it hard to touch another

Anything goes when we're under covers

But you're not an easy lover

No I just can't give you up

No I just can't give you up

No I just can't give you up

No I just can't give you up

But you're not an easy lover

No I just can't give you up

No I just can't give you up

No I just can't give you up

No I just can't give you up

But you're not an easy lover

...
