[English]

You

You don't wanna make me wait

I know that ain't true

And you know it's way too late

Swear

Never had a second thought

Love is never fair

I will always want you more

'Cause every time I tell you

I need you, I mean it

I need you so bad, so bad, so bad

Yeah every time I tell you

I need you, I mean it

You're driving me mad, so mad, so mad

'Cause every time I tell you

I need you, I mean it

I need you so bad, so bad, so bad

Yeah every time I tell you

I need you, I mean it

You're driving me mad, so mad, so mad

...

You're driving me mad, so mad, so mad

...

You're driving me mad, so mad, so mad

I'm

Caught in every single touch

Even if I tried

I would never get enough

But every now and then

I feel you lose focus

Every now and then

I sense that it's over

Every now and then

You rush from the moment

While I'm getting nowhere

'Cause every time I tell you

I need you, I mean it

I need you so bad, so bad, so bad

Yeah every time I tell you

I need you, I mean it

You're driving me mad, so mad, so mad

'Cause every time I tell you

I need you, I mean it

I need you so bad, so bad, so bad

Yeah every time I tell you

I need you, I mean it

You're driving me mad, so mad, so mad

...

You're driving me mad, so mad, so mad

'Cause every time I tell you

I need you, I mean it

I need you so bad, so bad, so bad

Yeah every time I tell you

I need you, I mean it

You're driving me mad, so mad, so mad

...
