[English]

Cutting me up like a knife

And I feel it, deep in my bones

...

Kicking a habit I love

Even harder, you oughta know

...

I just wanna dive in the water with you

Baby, we can't see the bottom

It's so easy to fall for each other

I'm just hoping we catch one another

Oh, na-na, just be careful, na-na

Love ain't simple, na-na

Promise me no promises

Oh, na-na, just be careful, na-na

Love ain't simple, na-na

Promise me no promises

...

Baby, I think about you

And I feel it, deep in my heart

...

Maybe we just ain't meant to be something

Maybe we are

I just wanna dive in the water with you

Baby, we can't see the bottom

It's so easy to fall for each other

I'm just hoping we catch one another

Oh, na-na, just be careful, na-na

Love ain't simple, na-na

Promise me no promises

Oh, na-na, just be careful, na-na

Love ain't simple, na-na

Promise me no promises, oh

...

I just want to dive in the water

Oh, baby, we can't see the bottom

I just want to dive in with you

I just want to lie here with you, oh

Oh, na-na, just be careful, na-na

Love ain't simple, na-na

Promise me no promises (promise me)

Oh, na-na, just be careful, na-na

Love ain't simple, na-na

Promise me no promises, no

...

Promise me no promises

Don't you promise me nothing

Promise me, me, me, me

Just be careful

Promise me no promises

...
