[English]

Lily was a little girl

Afraid of the big, wide world

She grew up within her castle walls

Now and then she tried to run

And then on the night with the setting sun

She went in the woods away

So afraid, all alone

They warn her, don't go there

There's creatures who are hiding in the dark

Then something came creeping

It told her, don't you worry just

Follow everywhere I go

Top over the mountains or valley low

Give you everything you've been dreaming of

Just let me in, ooh

Everything you wantin' gonna be the magic story you've been told

And you'll be safe under my control

Just let me in, ooh

Just let me in,ooh

She knew she was hypnotized

And walking on cold thin ice

Then it broke, and she awoke again

Then she ran faster than

Start screaming, is there someone out there?

Please help me, come get me

Behind her, she can hear it say

Follow everywhere I go

Top over the mountains or valley low

Give you everything you've been dreaming of

Just let me in, ooh

Everything you wantin' gonna be the magic story you've been told

And you'll be safe under my control

Just let me in, ooh

Just let me in, ooh

Uhhhh

Everything you wantin' gonna be the magic story you've been told

And you'll be safe under my control

Just let me in, ooh

Follow everywhere I go

Top over the mountains or valley low

Give you everything you've been dreaming of

Just let me in, ooh

Then she ran faster than

Start screaming, is there someone out there?

Please help me!

Just let me in, ooh
