Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I can't hear a single word

You can promise castles, treasures, babies

I don't care

'Cause for now you're just enough for me

I want you near

Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck

Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark

'Cause when you're touching me baby I see sparks

You make my heart go

You make my heart go

you can promise castles, treasures, babies, I don't care

'Cause for now you're just enough for me

I want you near

Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck

You remember what I love so baby take me back

Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark

'Cause when you're touching me baby I see sparks

You make my heart go

Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark

'Cause when you're touching me baby I see sparks

You make my heart go

Turn the lights down low and kiss me in the dark

'Cause when you're touching me baby I see sparks

You make my heart go

You, you make my heart go

You, you make my heart go
