[English]

Looking into my eyes

You will see

What you mean to me

Search your heart,

Search your soul

When you find me then,

You'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not

worth trying for

You can't tell me it's not

worth dying for

You know it's true,

(You know it's true)

Everything I do,

I do it for you

Looking into your heart,

You will find

There is nothing there to

hide

Take me as I am

(Take me as I am)

Take my life

I would give it all,

I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not

worth fighting for

I can't help it, there's

nothing I want more

You know it's true,

Everything I do,

I do it for you

There is no love,

like your love

And no other,

could give me more love

There's nowhere,

unless you're there

All the time,

all the way

Everything I did

You can't tell me it's not

worth trying for

Just can't help it,

there's nothing in the world I want more

Oh, I would fight for you,

yeah, I'd lie for you

Walk the wire for you,

yeah, I'd die for you

You know it's true

Everything I do,

I do it for you

• You can't tell me it's not worth trying for

  ➔ Modal verb + negative + that‑clause with "worth + gerund"

  ➔ "can't" (cannot) negates the ability, and "worth + trying" expresses the value of the action.

  ➔ "would" shows a willingness or intention in a hypothetical or polite context.

• Unless you're there

  ➔ Conditional clause with "unless" (negative condition)

  ➔ "unless" means "if not"; it introduces a condition that would prevent the main clause.

• Everything I do, I do it for you

  ➔ "do" is repeated to stress the speaker’s dedication; both clauses are in the simple present.

• Take me as I am

  ➔ "Looking" is a present participle that describes an ongoing action related to the main clause.
