[English]

Oh, baby

Oh, man

You're making me crazy

Really driving me mad

That's alright with me

It's really no fuss

As long as you're next to me

Just the two of us

You're my, my, my

My kind of woman

My, oh, my

What a girl

You're my, my, my

My kind of woman

And I'm down on my hands and knees

Begging you please, baby

Show me your world

Oh, brother

Sweetheart

I'm feeling so tired

Really falling apart

And it just don't make sense to me

I really don't know

Why you stick right next to me

Wherever I go

You're my, my, my

My kind of woman

My, oh, my

What a girl

You're my, my, my

My kind of woman

And I'm down on my hands and knees

Begging you please, baby

Show me your world
