[English]

1 2 Let’s go

My heart's been stolen, that girl's a killer

Love so good, feels like a thriller

Shaking beat, it's an emergency (Vroom)

1-1-9, 1-1-9

Save my life, save my life

She sets me free

It's an emergency now (Love)

You are like a flashlight

Suddenly stealing my gaze

In the crowd

I can't take my eyes off you

Everyone says, "Love is so sweet"

I still don't get it right now

A feeling I'm experiencing for the first time

Might be genuine, I’m not kidding

Deeper than friends, deeper, deeper

It definitely will be, love song, yeah

My heart's been stolen, that girl's a killer

Love so good, feels like a thriller

Shaking beat, it's an emergency (Vroom)

1-1-9, 1-1-9

Save my life, save my life

She sets me free

It's an emergency now (Love)

I come to my senses, what do I do?

All day long,

Thinking of you, my day is dyed all day

I want to know the feelings more someday

As if echoing, Love is so sweet

Non-stop heartbeat, right now

A feeling I can't express in words

Why? I'm not kidding

I keep wondering about you, day by day by day

You know, I

My heart's been stolen, that girl's a killer

Love so good, feels like a thriller

Shaking beat, it's an emergency (Vroom)

1-1-9, 1-1-9

Save my life, save my life

She sets me free

It's an emergency now (Love)

I wonder why, you know what I’m talking about

My heart's trembling this much again

I like everything about you

I can't go back to how I was before

The others are

Nothing but

I want it all with you

My heart's been stolen, that girl's a killer

Love so good, feels like a thriller

Shaking beat, it's an emergency (Vroom)

1-1-9, 1-1-9

Save my life, save my life

She sets me free

It's an emergency now (Love)

Do you have a message you'd like to send?
