[English]

Baby, take my hand

I want you to be my husband

Because you're my superhero

And I love you so much

Baby, take a risk

Because I want this to be special

Like something from a Hollywood movie

I see you standing there

In your cool jacket

And all I can think is

Where's the ring?

Because I know you want to ask

Afraid the moment will pass

I can see it in your eyes

Just surprise me

And all my friends tell me they know

You're planning to get down on one knee

But I want it to be a complete surprise

So don't let me guess

When you ask

Baby, take my hand

I want you to be my husband

Because you're my superhero

And I love you so much

Baby, take a risk

Because I want this to be special

Like something from a Hollywood movie

Now we're having dinner

And baby, you're the best

I see the way you smile

You're thinking about our wedding

You reach into your pocket

Your emotions are showing

And before you can even ask

I say yes too quickly

And all my friends tell me they knew

You were planning to get down on one knee

So now I can't stop thinking about you

I figured out all the signs

So now I ask

Baby, take my hand

I want you to be my husband

Because you're my superhero

And I love you so much

Baby, take a risk

Because I want this to be special

Like something from a Hollywood movie

'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

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

Just take me by surprise

And all my friends they tell me they see

You planning to get on one knee

But I want it to be out of the blue

So make sure I have no clue
