[English]

I love you, baby, and if it's quite all right

I need you, baby, to warm your lonely night

I love you, baby, trust in me when I say

Diving into the blue sea (diving)

My mood is poppin' now, heat it up (uh)

You know I'm pretty nosy

I want you, just a quick glance

Click, click, press the shutter, shutter shot

Swimming straight towards you

Turn it up, let loose, my mood

One and two and three and go, hey

I'll give you my power, baby (baby)

'Cause to me, you're a celeb (celeb)

Yeah, I'm so into you

Please know how I feel

Ah, woo (oh), I'm lowkey (I'm lowkey), hm

I want an answer, it's not enough

I think you like it

I gotta go and say it's love

I love you, baby, and if it's quite all right

I need you, baby, to warm your lonely night

I love you, baby, baby

Just a little more to me, mayday

I love you

I-I-I-I love you, I love you, I love you (I love you)

I-I-I-I love you, I love you, I love you (I love you)

I-I-I-I love you, I love you, I love you (ooh)

A life filled with you

Wanna know your mind (know your mind)

You're gonna feel it, gotta feel it, wanna feel it

I understand through your eyes

Tell me if you're ready to be mine

The moment I took a bite of your heart

Make you wanna know, can I call you mine? (You mine)

Be my only one

Come to me close, get ready now, hey

Trapped in your orbit (orbit)

Falling into your galaxy

Stay if you want me, too

Staying awake all night 'cause of you

Ah, woo (oh), I'm lowkey (hey), hm

I want an answer, it's not enough

I think you like it

I gotta go and say it's love

I love you, baby, and if it's quite all right

I need you, baby, to warm your lonely night

I love you, baby, baby

Just a little more to me, mayday

I love you

I-I-I-I love you, I love you, I love you (I love you)

I-I-I-I love you, I love you, I love you (I love you)

I-I-I-I love you, I love you, I love you (ooh)

A life filled with you

Wanna know your mind (know your mind)

Do you remember?

The letter I left floating on that sea

I secretly prayed it would reach you

I keep your words in my moon

Like dancing waves

Following this moment when I'm drawing you

I love you, baby, and if it's quite all right (ooh)

I need you, baby, to warm your lonely night

I love you, baby, baby

Just a little more to me, mayday

I love you

...
