[English]

You're my cherry pie

I don't care who knows it

Love me 'til I die

Bury me with roses

I know you're awfully shy

But I can't wait to hold it, to hold that

Big, big, hard, heart!

With open arms

Holding you naked

Middle of Sunset Boulevard

Making you famous

Everyone's watching

Bare skin

Concrete

They're calling the police

Open arms

Holding you naked

Middle of Sunset

Feels so good it hurts

But you fill up what's broken

Women of few words

But for you I keep my mouth wide open

Praying and hoping

That you quench my thirst

Not just dip your toes in

I want that

Big, big, hard, heart!

With open arms

Holding you naked

Middle of Sunset Boulevard

Making you famous

Everyone's watching

Bare skin

Concrete

They're calling the police

Open arms

Holding you naked

Middle of Sunset

I just wanna touch it touch it

Try your hardest not to bust it

Gimme gimme, love it love it

Hey hey hey

I just wanna touch it touch it

Try your hardest not to bust it

Gimme gimme how I love your big, big, heart!

With open arms

Holding you naked

Middle of Sunset Boulevard

Making you famous

Everyone's watching

Bare skin

Concrete

They're calling the police

Open arms

Holding you naked

Middle of Sunset
