[English]

Baby, take my hand, I want you to be my husband

'Cause you're my Iron Man, and I love you 3000

Baby, take my hand, I want you to be my husband

'Cause you're my Iron Man, and I love you 3000

Baby, take a chance 'cause I want this to be something

Straight out of a Hollywood movie

Baby, take a chance 'cause I want this to be something

Straight out of a Hollywood movie

I see you standing there, in your Hulk outerwear

And all I can think is where is the ring

'Cause I know you wanna ask, scared the moment will pass

I can see it in your eyes, just take me by surprise

And all my friends they tell me they see

You're planning to get on one knee

But I want it to be out of the blue

So make sure I have no clue, when you ask

Baby, take my hand, I want you to be my husband

'Cause you're my Iron Man, and I love you 3000

Baby, take my hand, I want you to be my husband

'Cause you're my Iron Man, and I love you 3000

Baby, take a chance 'cause I want this to be something

Straight out of a Hollywood movie

Baby, take a chance 'cause I want this to be something

Straight out of a Hollywood movie

And I love you 3000

And I love you 3000
