[English]

I got this boy on my mind that I can't live without

Oh, his eyes are killing me

And he keeps talking about everything that he likes

And I can't stop listening

I'm thinkin' 'bout him all the time

I'm thinkin' 'bout him all the time

I'm thinkin' 'bout him all the time, all the time

And my heart's beating fast when he's looking like that

Oh, his smile is killing me

It's the way that he moves and the way that he laughs

Oh, I can't get enough

Thinkin' 'bout him all the time

I can't get him off my mind

Oh, I want him to be mine, to be mine

My heart is saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You know I want him now, now, now, now, now

My heart is saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I told him, I can be your fighter if you want

I'll be there to catch you if you fall

I can make it brighter when it's dark, when it's dark

I told him, I would do it all for you

And I know you'd do it for me too

I can be your fighter if you want, if you want

Yeah, I can be your fighter

I can be your fighter if you want

I can be your fighter

If you want

Oh, the way that I feel, yeah, I know that it's real

'Cause I can't get him out of my head

I don't care what we do, everything's feeling new

Even if we stay in bed

My heart is saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You know I want him now, now, now, now, now

My heart is saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I told him, I can be your fighter if you want (your fighter)

I'll be there to catch you if you fall

I can make it brighter when it's dark, when it's dark (dark)

I told him, I would do it all for you

And I know you'd do it for me too

I can be your fighter if you want, if you want

Yeah, I can be your fighter

I can be your fighter if you want

I can be your fighter

If you want

I can be your fighter

I can be your fighter if you want

I can be your fighter

If you want

Oh, oh, oh

My heart is saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (oh)

I want him now, now, now, now, now (oh)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (oh)

Yeah (oh)

I told him, I can be your fighter if you want

I'll be there to catch you if you fall

I can make it brighter when it's dark, when it's dark (when it's dark)

I told him, I would do it all for you

And I know you'd do it for me too

I can be your fighter if you want, if you want

Yeah, I can be your fighter

I can be your fighter if you want

I can be your fighter

If you want

I can be your fighter

I can be your fighter if you want

I can be your fighter

If you want
