[English]
Got to grab a pen and a paperGot to write a tiny note to you,
I cant get you out of my system
There's something very difficult 'bout you
Its possible,
When I get that feeling
It's so revealing
Its possible,
When you're givin' that look
I just wanna oh-oh-oh!
People tell me all the wrong things
People tell me I don't have a clue
There's something in the air, I just know it!
Like patches on the skin it stick like glue.
I's possible,
When I get that feeling
It so revealing
It's possible,
When you're givin' that look
I just wanna oh-oh-oh!
The sound of your heartbeat, promise so much Du du do do do do
Got to write a tiny note to you
Du do do do do do
There's something very difficult about you!
It's possible,
When I get that feeling
It's so revealing
It's possible, when givin me that look
I just wanna oh-oh-oh!
When I get that feeling it's so revealing
It's possible,
When you're givin' that look
I just wanna Oh-Oh-Oh!
