[English]

There's a girl that's been on my mind
All the time, Su-Sussudio, oh, oh
Now she don't even know my name
But I think she likes me just the same Su-Sussudio, oh, oh
Ah, if she called me I'd be there
I'd come running anywhere, she's all I need, all my life
I feel so good if I just say the word
Su-Sussudio, just say the word, oh, Su-Sussudio
Now I know that I'm too young
My life has just begun, Su-Sussudio, oh, oh
Ooh, give me a chance, give me a sign
I'll show her anytime, S-Su-Sussudio, oh, oh
Ah, I've got to have her, have her now
I've got to get closer but I don't know how
She makes me nervous and makes me scared
I feel so good if I just say the word, Su-Sussudio
Just say the word, oh, S-Su-Sussudio, oh
Ah, she's all I need, all of my life
I feel so good if I just say the word, Su-Sussudio
I just say the word, oh, S-Su-Sussudio
I just say the word, oh, S-Su-Sussudio
I'll say the word, oh, S-Su-Sussudio oh, oh, oh
Just say the word
Ooh, just, just, just say the word, ooh
Just say the word
S-Su-Sussudio, Su-Sussudio
S-Su-Sussudio, Su-Sussudio
Sussudio, Su-Sussudio
Just say the word, Su-Sussudio
Just say the word, oh
Just say the word
Ooh, just-just-just say the word
