[English]

Hello, my name is Mark

I play gentlemen's games

And I can slip through and creepin'

Through the night's parade

I shake a hand or two

I tip my hat to you

I'm always runnin' and a-jumpin'

Like a fool who would do

On through the wild, I see her

She sees me

We could be something, it's exciting

I wanna run away

But I don't move, I stay

I talk to her, I say

You, you, you were meant for me

Oh I can't speak, I think I'm falling in

Love, love, love

It could be a wonderful thing

Love, love

It can make you crazy

Sarah, she's a cougar

Got moves like barracudas

On the hunt for the ones

That look under twenty two years

Got her head up high

High heels that match her thighs

And she be spending lots of money

Her friends, think she's real funny

She says "hey look at me"

"You will see that I'm a queen"

Got experience to give up

Like you never lived

But all the boys just run

She never has a fun

Oh yeah, but Sarah

She don't care, she keeps looking

Cause she's hoping for

Love, love, love

It could be a wonderful thing

Love, love

It can make you crazy

Love, love, love

It could be an incredible thing

Love, love

And if you have it it's amazing

Oooh ooh ooh oooh ooh yeah yeah

Oooh ooh ooh oooh ooh yeah yeah

I got the fever, got the fever, got the fever

I said she's got the fever, got the fever

Yeah, I'm falling in love

He's got the fever, got the fever, got the fever

I said they've got the fever, got the fever

Yeah, I'm falling in

Love, love, love

It could be a wonderful thing

Love, love

It can make you crazy

Love, love, love

It could be an incredible thing

Love, love

And if you have it it's amazing
