[English]

It's you, it's always you

If I'm ever gonna fall in love, I know it's gon' be you

It's you, it's always you

Met a lot of people, but nobody feels like you

So please don't break my heart, don't tear me apart

I know how it starts, trust me, I've been broken before

Don't break me again, I am delicate

Please don't break my heart, trust me, I've been broken before

I've been broken, yeah, I know how it feels

To be open and then find out your love isn't real

I'm still hurting, yeah, I'm hurting inside

I'm so scared to fall in love, but if it's you, then I'll try

It's you, it's always you

If I'm ever gonna fall in love, I know it's gon' be you

It's you, it's always you

Met a lot of people, but nobody feels like you

So please don't break my heart, don't tear me apart

I know how it starts, trust me, I've been broken before

Don't break me again, I am delicate

Please don't break my heart, trust me, I've been broken before

I know I'm not the best at choosing lovers (oh)

We both know my past speaks for itself (for itself)

If you don't think that we're right for each other (baby, no)

Then please don't let history repeat itself

'Cause I want you, yeah, I want you, yeah

There's nothing else I want

'Cause I want you, yeah, I want you, yeah

And you're the only thing I want

It's you, it's always you

If I'm ever gonna fall in love, I know it's gon' be you

It's you, it's always you

Met a lot of people, but nobody feels like you

So please don't break my heart, don't tear me apart

I know how it starts, trust me, I've been broken before

Don't break me again, I am delicate

Please don't break my heart, trust me, I've been broken before

Baby, I want you, baby, I want you

Baby, I want you, baby, I want you

Baby, I want you, baby, I want you

You, you, 'cause I want you

Baby, I want you, baby, I want you

Baby, I want you, baby, I want you

Baby, I want you, baby, I want you

You, you
