[English]
The way she talks
The way she walks
I just can't help it, but I am
In love with the bride
Of my best friend
Her pretty hair
Her beautiful face
I just can't help it, but I am
In love with the bride
Of my best friend
I'm going to tell her that I love her
And that I’ll never forget her
But if she gets mad
I might never see her again
For all my life
Her happiness
Makes me an unhappy man
In love with the bride
Of my best friend
For all my life
I will always be
Always love her
Always (always, always)
...
