[English]

She's a miracle

She's a miracle, oh, oh, oh, ooh

Diamonds

She turns tears to diamonds, whoa-oh

Tryin'

To find that silver linin', whoa-oh-oh

And once in a while

I'll go walkin' in the twilight, countin' down to midnight

Close my eyes and wait for her to shine

I'm hidin' in the shadows, prayin' that she'll break free

In the dark of the night, she got danger on her mind

She's a million dollar baby, nobody can explain it

She's a miracle

She's a miracle, oh, oh, oh, ooh

She broke out of her chains, turned the fire into rain

She's a million dollar baby, she bound to drive you crazy

She's a miracle

She's a miracle, oh, oh, oh, ooh

Heart broke, oh-oh

You can't keep her down, no, oh-oh (ah, ah, ah)

Ice-cold, oh-oh

Just comin' back to life, no, oh-oh-oh

And once in a while

I'll go walkin' in the twilight, countin' down to midnight

Close my eyes and wait for her to shine

I'm hidin' in the shadows, prayin' that she'll break free

In the dark of the night, she got danger on her mind

She's a million dollar baby, nobody can explain it

She's a miracle

She's a miracle, oh, oh, oh, ooh

She broke out of her chains, turned the fire into rain

She's a million dollar baby, she bound to drive you crazy

She's a miracle

She's a miracle, oh, oh, oh, ooh

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, miracle

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, miracle

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma

She's a miracle, oh, oh, oh, ooh

In the dark of the night, she got danger on her mind

She's a million dollar baby, nobody can explain it

She's a miracle

She's a miracle, oh, oh, oh, ooh (she's a miracle)

She broke out of her chains, turned the fire into rain

She's a million dollar baby, she bound to drive you crazy

She's a miracle (she's a miracle, yeah-yeah)

She's a miracle, oh, oh, oh, ooh

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, miracle

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, miracle (whoa-oh-oh)

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma (oh-oh-oh)

She's a miracle, oh, oh, oh, ooh
