[English]

Hey you, the one with the laughing eyes

You, the one with the haunting stare

Well you, you have the power to hypnotize

I should'a known better, I should beware

'Cause I have followed you

Done everything for you

But you just won't look my way

So come on baby, and save me

I'm running for cover

Save me

Is it one or the other, babe

Save me

It's time for somebody else

Save me

Well you, you could own the universe

Think about it and you'll realize

You, you gotta believe me and take my word

Look at me, it's written in my eyes

'Cause I have followed you

Done everything for you

But you just won't come my way

So come on baby and save me

I'm running for cover

Save me

Ooh, is it one or the other, babe

Save me

I gurss It's time for somebody else

Save me

...

I can't wait any longer for paradise

I told you once, I'm not gonna tell you twice

So come on baby and save me

I'm running for cover

Save me

Is it one or the other, babe

Save me

I guess It's time for somebody else

Save me

Save me

I'm running for cover

Save me

Is it one or the other

Save me

It's time for somebody else

Save me

...

Save me

...

Save me

Save me,save me,save me

Save me

...
