[English]

I remember when I first noticed that you liked me back

We were sitting down in a restaurant waiting for the check

We had made love earlier that day with no strings attached,

But I could tell that something had changed how you looked at

Me then

Kristen, come right back

I've been waiting for you to slip back in bed

When you light the candle

...

And on the Lower East Side you're dancing with me now

And I'm taking pictures of you with flowers on the wall

Think I like you best when you're dressed in black from head to toe

Think I like you best when you're just with me and no one else

Kristen, come right back

I've been waiting for you to slip back in bed

When you light the candle

...

And I'm kissing you lying in my room

Holding you until you fall asleep

And it's just as good as I knew it would be

Stay with me

I don't want you to leave...

...

Kristen, come right back

I've been waiting for you to slip back in bed

When you light the candle

...
