[English]

Oh oh oh

Every time

Oh oh oh

Every time

If I didn't love you

I would look around for someone else

But every time I see you

You have the same effect

My heart starts missing a beat

My heart starts missing a beat

Every time

Oh oh oh

Every time

Oh oh oh

Every time

Every time I hear your heart beat next to me

I'm in love with you

I mean what I say

I'm in love with you

And you don't know

What it means to be with you

Beat, beat, beat, heart beat

Every time I see you

No matter what we do

There's a strange reaction

Can you feel it too?

My heart starts missing a beat

My heart starts missing a beat

Every time

Oh oh oh

Every time

Oh oh oh

Every time I hear your heart beat next to me

I'm in love with you

I mean what I say

I'm in love with you

And you don't know

What it means to be with you

Oh oh oh

Every time

Oh oh oh

Every time

Oh oh oh

Every time

Oh oh oh

Every time

Beat

Every time

Beat

Every time

Beat

Every time

Heart beat

Beat

Heart beat

Beat

Heart beat

Beat

Heart beat
