[English]

(La-la, la-la-la, la-la, la, la-la-la)

Oh, my Lord, never met someone like you before

Think I'm kinda going overboard, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Now I'm obsessed, how can somebody be so perfect?

Boy, you really got me by the neck

Whatever you want, you just gotta ask

I'll do anything for you, boy, anything

Yeah, I'll do anything, anything for you

Yeah, I'll do crazy shit and I'll get away with it

Boy, I'll do anything, anything for you

If you go and get yourself somebody new

I don't know what the hell I'd do, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

But if I found out, I will go and turn up at her house

Break a nail and rip her hair right out

Huh, and I hope you like that I'm crazy like that

I'll do anything for you, boy, anything

Yeah, I'll do anything, anything for you

Yeah, I'll do crazy shit and I'll get away with it

Boy, I'll do anything, anything for you

Go to Timbuktu, anything

Get your name tattooed, anything

Take a hit for you, anything, anything for you

Start a fire or two, anything

Nothing I won't do, anything

Kill a bitch for you, anything, anything for you (la-la-la)

I'll do anything for you, boy, anything

Yeah, I'll do anything (anything), anything for you

Yeah, I'll do crazy shit and I'll get away with it

Boy, I'll do anything (anything), anything for you

(La-la, la-la-la, la-la, la, la-la-la)

(La-la, la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la)
