[English]

Got to grab a pen and a paper

Got 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!

...
