I only want life and health
My three meals a day, so I won't go without
My love by my side
So we can live forever
Don't you...?
I only want life and health
For us to like each other more
Could it be the sign?
This sign is here to show us
Ah, ahh
Sorry, Baby
Uuh, uuh
I still belong to you
Ah, ahh
Sorry, my love
Uuh, uuh
We are not broken
I only want life and health
My three meals a day, so I won't go without
My love by my side
So we can live forever
Don't you...?
I only want life and health
So we can grow old together
Haven't you seen yet?
You are my life forever
I'll offer you my ring
Accept
Ah, ahh
Sorry, Baby
Uuh, uuh
I still belong to you
Ah, ahh
Sorry, my love
Uuh, uuh
We are not broken
I only want life and health
My three meals a day, so I won't go without
My love by my side
So we can live forever
Don't you...?
I only want life and health
So we can grow old together
My love
With you, I want to give
I will live
Sorry
I will die
I was waiting for the right moment
Hey
Baby
We are not broken

So we can grow old together
My love
I love
With you, I want to give
I will live
