[English]

It's somethin' 'bout you, that's so familiar

Somethin' that's got me, wantin' to know you

And I can't, put my, finger on it

But it feels, oh like, I've been here before

It's somethin' about me, that makes me wonder

I swear I met you, but you're a stranger

And I can't, put my finger, on quite what it is

Oh, but I've been here before

Maybe it was me who brought you, here

I should run the other way, but I stay, right here

And I'll be a fool for you

I know myself, but I pretend

I leave and I'll come back again

I'm a fool for you

I love you time and time again

I know just how the story ends, oh

Oh, you remind me, of someone I once knew

Maybe I'm crazy, but it's hard to, ignore you

And I, can't wrap, my head, around it

But it feels, oh like I loved you before

Maybe it was me who brought you here

I should run the other way, but I stay right here

I'll be a fool, for you

I know myself, but I pretend

I leave, and not come back again

I'm a fool for you

I love you time and time again

I know just how the story ends, oh

Say

You know that I'll be that fool for you

And I'll be a fool for you

I know myself, but I pretend

I leave and I come back again

I'm a fool for you

I love you time and time again

I know just how the story ends, oh

Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye

Oh, I-I-I

Oh, I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I
