[English]

There are too many questions

There is not one solution

There is no resurrection

There is so much confusion

And the love profusion

You make me feel

You make me know

And the love vibration

You make me feel

You make it shine

There are too many options

There is no consolation

I have lost my illusions

What I want is an explanation

And the love profusion

You make me feel

You make me know

And the love direction

You make me feel

You make me shine

You make me feel

You make me shine, you make me feel

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

There is no comprehension

There is real isolation

There is so much destruction

What I want is a celebration

And I know I can feel bad

When I get in a bad mood

And the world can look so sad

Only you make me feel good

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

And the love profusion

You make me feel

You make me know

And the love intention

You make me feel

You make me shine

You make me feel

You make me shine, you make me feel

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

And I know I can feel bad

When I get in a bad mood

And the world can look so sad

Only you make me feel good
