[English]

What on earth am I meant to do?

In this crowded place there is only you

Was gonna leave now I have to stay

You have taken my breath away

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Is the world still spinning around?

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I don't feel like coming down

It's in your eyes

I can tell what you're thinking

My heart is sinking too

It's no surprise

I've been watching you lately

I want to make it with you

...

Destiny has a funny way

When it comes and takes all your cares away

I can't think of a single thing

Other than what a beautiful state I'm in

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Is the world still spinning around?

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I don't feel like coming down

It's in your eyes

I can tell what you're thinking

My heart is sinking too

It's no surprise

I've been watching you lately

I want to make it with you

...

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Is the world still spinning around?

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I don't feel like coming down

It's in your eyes

I can tell what you're thinking

My heart is sinking too

It's no surprise

I've been watching you lately

I want to make it with you

It's in your eyes

I can tell what you're thinking

My heart is sinking too

It's no surprise

I've been watching you lately

I want to make it with you

It's in your eyes

I can tell what you're thinking

My heart is sinking too

It's no surprise

I've been watching you lately

I want to make it with you

It's in your eyes

...
