[English]

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

Baby you ain't tryin'

If I said I'm upbeat, I'd be lying

Show me what you're hiding

But if this is love then watch me die on you

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

Maybe you can't hear me

But I feel like screaming when you're near me

Save me from your theories

At the very least just let me cry on you

Undervalued, I can't be far from the truth

Maybe I knew, hardly a bolt from the blue

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

Love and hate each other

If we can't get it together

You know we'll never, ever, ever

Fix a heart, don't break it

Can't you see the love around you?

You know, you're crazy not to take it

Undervalued, I can't be far from the truth

Maybe I knew, hardly a bolt from the blue

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

Whatchya gonna do? I am not over you

Whatchya gonna do? I am not over you

Whatchya gonna do? I am not over you

Whatchya gonna do? I am not over you

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna sort you out

Where's it gonna get ya?

I'm never gonna let you down!

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna sort you out

Where's it gonna get ya?

I'm never gonna let you down!

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna sort you out

Where's it gonna get ya?

I'm never gonna let you down!

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna sort you out

Where's it gonna get ya?

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy

All I wanna do is make you happy
