[English]

(Ho!)

(Hey!)

(Ho!)

(Hey!)

(Ho!) I've been tryin' to do it right

(Hey!) I've been livin' a lonely life

(Ho!) I've been sleepin' here instead

(Hey!) I've been sleepin' in my bed

(Ho!) Sleepin' in my bed

(Hey!)

(Ho!)

(Ho!) So show me family

(Hey!) All the blood that I will bleed

(Ho!) I don't know where I belong

(Hey!) I don't know where I went wrong

(Ho!) But I can write a song

(Hey!) Two, three

I belong with you, you belong with me

You're my sweetheart

I belong with you, you belong with me

You're my sweet-

(Ho!)

(Hey!) (Come on, now)

(Ho!) (Hey)

(Hey!)

(Ho!) I don't think you're right for him

(Hey!) Think of what it might've been if we

(Ho!) Took a bus to Chinatown

(Hey!) I'd be standin' on Canal

(Ho!) And Bowery

(Hey!) Hey

(Ho!) She'd be standin' next to me

(Hey!) Two, three

I belong with you, you belong with me

You're my sweetheart

I belong with you, you belong with me

You're my sweetheart

Love, we need it now

Let's hope for some

'Cause oh, we're bleedin' out

I belong with you, you belong with me

You're my sweetheart

I belong with you, you belong with me

You're my sweet

(Ho!)

(Hey!)

(Ho!) (Last one)

(Hey!)
