[English]

Today, my mind is only about Y-O-U

Can’t get you out of my head

The color of the bottle I emptied all night is BLUE

Yeah, I don't know how many times you've come and thrown my heart away

The train of thoughts keeps running nonstop, I can't sleep all night

Yeah, only when you're regretful, yeah, only when you're sorry, you love me

Yeah, even if you're feeling regretful, I still wish that you're you

Now there's no need to wait anymore

There's no need to be afraid

Show me the color of your heart

Really, I need you in my world

Open your eyes, here I am in front of you

I’m ready for love

Tell me when you're ready

Because I’m already ready

Tell me when you're ready because

I’m ready for love

I’m ready for love, I’m ready for love

I’m ready for love, I’m ready for love

Ready or not, here I come and I’m running

Like it’s now or never, I never know if you want it

What if love wasn’t what it’s supposed to be?

What if there’s no Romeo for me?

No hope, no roses, no more notes to read

So I keep my eyes closed to see

What I need is forever and forever baby, not sometimes

When you want it, then you better come find me because I’m ready

Now there's no need to wait anymore

There's no need to be afraid

Show me the color of your heart

Really, I need you in my world

Open your eyes, here I am in front of you

I’m ready for love

Tell me when you’re ready

Because I’m already ready

Tell me when you’re ready because

I’m ready for love

I’m ready for love, I’m ready for love

I’m ready for love, I’m ready for love

Your soul and everything about you

Make me dizzy, make me happy and laugh

There’s nothing wrong with that

When you throw everything at me for me

I will protect you

Lalala lalalala Lalala lalalala
