No need to translate

'cause my eyes give me away

Even though my lips don't say

This should be so easy

But my head gets in the way

All the things that I want to tell you

You're the most perfect yet

Most definitely that I've met

And I wonder if you know that's how I feel about you

I hope you know

'cause I have so much love for you

Do with it what you will

And I have nothing more to prove

Say to me what you will

Say, say it again

Not enough lovers in life to go around

But there's you and me

If we don't start it out. mmmm

It's not hard to let go

Enough to let me in

If it's meant to be

It can only be good

You're the most perfect fit

Most definitely that I've met

And I hope that you feel the same way too

About me. just let me know

'cause I have so much love for you

Do with it what you will

And I have nothing more to prove

Say to me what you will

Say, say it again

Can you take it from me?

If I give, can you receive?

I'm reaching out

Giving everything

I give you my heart, I give you my soul

I give you it all

'cause I have so much love for you

Do with it what you will

And I have nothing more to prove

Say to me what you will

Say, say it again
