[English]

An amazing feeling coming through

I was born to love you

With every single beat of my heart

Yes, I was born to take care of you

Every single day of my life

You are the one for me

I am the man for you

You were made for me

You're my ecstasy

If I was given every opportunity

I'd kill for your love

So take a chance with me

Let me romance with you

I'm caught in a dream

And my dreams come true

It's so hard to believe this is happening to me

An amazing feeling coming through

I was born to love you

With every single beat of my heart

Yes, I was born to take care of you

Every single day of my life

...

I wanna love you

I love every little thing about you

I wanna love you, love you, love you

Born to love you

Born to love you

Yes, I was born to love you

Born to love you

Born to love you

Every single day of my life

I was born to take care of you

Every single day of my life

...

Every single day of my life

I was born to love you

With every single beat of my heart

Yes, I was born to take care of you, honey

Every single day of my life

...
