Lyrics & Translation

[English]

If I fall in love with you

I need to know that you will love me too

Nobody else for you

And if I give my heart away

I must be sure that I will be the one

The only one for you

If you're only playing games

I don't want to feel a thing

I think I've cried enough

But you know I'm wanting to believe

You're the one who'll give to me

The bright shining miracle of love

And if I fall in love with you

I'll need to know that you love me too

Nobody else for you

Oh

Oh promise me there'll be no games

I don't want any pain

I have cried enough

I really want to believe

You're the one who'll give to me

That shining miracle of love

Oh, if I fall in love with you

I need to know that you will love me too

Nobody else for you

Absolutely no one else for you

Oh, no one else

For you
