[English]

Ooh, baby, I just wanna learn and give you enough

I know sometimes I can say the wrong things

Even when I make mistakes, you love me anyway

And that's why you're my sunshine, darling

Even when it rains, when it rains

I need my little baby by my side

I'll be your Johnny Cash if you walk my line

I'll give you everything for all of your time

And now I just wanna know why

Tell me, how do you love?

Tell me how do you love

Ooh, baby, I just wanna learn and give you enough

Tell me, how do you love?

Tell me, how do you love?

Ooh, baby, I just wanna learn and give you enough

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Tell me, how do you love?

Tell me, how do you love?

Ooh, baby, I just wanna learn and give you enough

Ooh, baby, I just wanna learn and give you enough

Ooh, baby, I just wanna learn and give you enough

I don't know the way but you've been there before

Been around the town, but ain't no place like home

Take me on the long way

Baby, tell me where to go, where to go

I need my little baby by my side

I'll be your Johnny Cash if you walk my line

I'll give you everything for all of your time

And now I just wanna know why

Tell me, how do you love?

Tell me, how do you love?

Ooh, baby, I just wanna learn and give you enough

Tell me, how do you love?

Tell me, how do you love?

Ooh, baby, I just wanna learn and give you enough

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh, baby, I just wanna learn and give you enough
