[English]

I see the look on your face

Telling me your story

You don't have to be alone

I love to see you smiling

Why you trying to hide it?

Don't you know you've got it all?

I... know when you're gone

Do you thin think and you live like you want?

I... know when you're gone

You're just looking for a little sign of love

I said

Hey!

Would you come with me

I said, hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey!

Would you stay with me

I said hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey!

Would you come with me

I said, hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey!

Would you stay with me

I said hey, hey

Hey, hey

...

I see the way you're moving

No need for introducing

You're everything a man could want

You and I, we both know

Only one way this goes

Baby let me take you home

I... know when you're gone

Do you think and you live like you want?

I... know when you're gone

All you're looking for is a little sign of love

I said

Hey!

Would you come with me

I said, hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey!

Would you stay with me

I said hey, hey

Hey, hey

...

I said

Hey!

Would you come with me

Would you come with me

I said, hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey!

Would you stay with me

I said hey, hey

Hey, hey
