[English]

Coo, coo, coo, coo, coo

You got me going coo, coo, coo, coo, coo

It's all because of you, you, you, you, you

You got me going coo, coo, coo, coo, coo

Let's take a moment and own it

And not be scared to show it and love it like we never had before

I know you know it, don't hold it

Back and start to glow it and I don't wanna see it no more

In and in and in and out we go

Out of love and I don't know how to keep my cool around you

In and in and in and out we go

Why'd you make it difficult, boy, I'm getting fed up with you?

As soon as I say goodbye, I'm feeling alone

Ain't no way I can live without you

So, by midnight I'm back on the phone

Ain't no way I can live without you

See the love high killing all the lows

Tell me why we don't keep a steady flow

So, my goodbyes really mean hello

Really mean hello, really, really mean hello

Coo, coo, coo, coo, coo

You got me going coo, coo, coo, coo, coo

It's all because of you, you, you, you, you

You got me going coo, coo, coo, coo, coo

I never chose you, I chose to get on a roller coaster of love

But that's what life had in store

As much as I want to jump off, my heart is saying hell no

Somehow you got it beating for more

In and in and in and out we go

Out of love and I don't know how to keep my cool around you (around you)

In and in and in and out we go

Why'd you make it difficult, boy, I'm getting fed up with you?

As soon as I say goodbye, I'm feeling alone

Ain't no way I can live without you

So, by midnight I'm back on the phone

Ain't no way I can live without you

See the love high killing all the lows

Tell me why we don't keep a steady flow

So, my goodbyes really mean hello

Really mean hello, really, really mean hello

I know that we argue, fuss and fight

Who said love was easy, don't know life

That's true, I'm crazy 'bout you

I know that we made love 'til daylight

Who said love was easy, might be right

It's true, I'm crazy about you

Sun in the sky, feeling alright

At the same time we don't want it to change

It's you and I, pleasure and pain

At the same time we don't want it to change

As soon as I say goodbye, I'm feeling alone

Ain't no way I can live without you

So, by midnight I'm back on the phone

Ain't no way I can live without you

See the love high killing all the lows

Tell me why we don't keep a steady flow

So, my goodbyes really mean hello

Really mean hello, really, really mean hello

Coo, coo, coo, coo, coo

You got me going (really mean hello, really, really mean hello)

It's all because of you, you, you, you, you

You got me going (really mean hello, really, really mean hello)

Oh
