[English]
Tell me what's on your mind (Your mind)
For you, I'd die a thousand times
Find you in every life (Ah-ah)
For you, I'd dive into your tears
And swim the deepest sea (Shoo-ba-doo)
My baby (Shoo-ba-doo)
Ain't nothing in this world that means more to me (Ba-ba-da, ba-ba)
Not anything
And just as constant as the air I breathe
I'd do anything to keep my baby safe
Whatever it takes
Love is a gun
I'll bite the bullet
Wasn't that enough for you?
I'd do it again
Somehow, it's good for the soul
Yeah, if I could
I'd bite the bullet
What I would do, it's all for you
(Ah-ah, ah)
Don't play with my heart, that's like playing with an open blade (Ah-ah)
For you, I'd dive into your brain
I would take all your pain (Shoo-ba-doo)
For you, I'd wrap my heart around you
There's no greater love (Ba-ba-da, ba-ba)
Not anything
And long as blood is running through my veins
Even in the afterlife
I'll always keep my baby safe
Love is a gun
I'll bite the bullet
Wasn't that enough for you?
I'd do it again
Somehow, it's good for the soul
Yeah, if I could (If I could)
I'd bite the bullet
What I would do, it's all for you
All for you
It's all for you, you
All for you
It's all for you
