[English]

♪ Staring all alone ♪

♪ And your grace and style ♪

♪ Cut me to the bone ♪

♪ With your razor blade smile ♪

♪ I watched you playing pool ♪

♪ It's all around the school ♪

♪ That I love you ♪

♪ I love your gypsy hair ♪

♪ And dark brown eyes ♪

♪ Always unprepared ♪

♪ For your pointed replies ♪

♪ Cynical and lean ♪

♪ I lie awake and dream about you ♪

♪ If you only knew ♪

♪ What I'm going through ♪

♪ Time and again I get ashamed ♪

♪ To say your name ♪

♪ It's hard to grin and bear ♪

♪ When you're standing there ♪

♪ My lips are dry ♪

♪ I catch your eye and look away ♪

♪ Sitting in my room ♪

♪ I've got it bad ♪

♪ Crying for the moon ♪

♪ They think I'm mad ♪

♪ They say it isn't real ♪

♪ But I know what I feel ♪

♪ And I love you ♪

♪ If you only knew ♪

♪ What I'm going through ♪

♪ Time and again I get ashamed ♪

♪ To say your name ♪

♪ It's hard to grin and bear ♪

♪ When you're standing there ♪

♪ My lips are dry ♪

♪ I catch your eye and look away ♪

♪ Sitting in my room ♪

♪ I've got it bad ♪

♪ Crying for the moon ♪

♪ They think I'm mad ♪

♪ But I would give my life ♪

♪ For a single night ♪

♪ Beside you ♪
