[English]

All I am is a man

I want the world in my hands

I hate the beach, but I stand

In California with my toes in the sand

Use the sleeves of my sweater

Let's have an adventure

Head in the clouds but my gravity's centered

Touch my neck and I'll touch yours

You in those little high waisted shorts

She knows what I think about

And what I think about

One love, two mouths

One love, one house

No shirt, no blouse

Just us, you find out

Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, no

'Cause it's too cold for you here

And now, so let me hold

Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh

The holes of my sweater

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh

The holes of my sweater

I may just take your breath away

I don't mind if there's not much to say

Sometimes the silence guides a mind

To move to a place so far away

The goosebumps start to raise

The minute that my left-hand meets your waist

And then I watch your face

Put my finger on your tongue

'Cause you love the taste, yeah

These hearts adore

Everyone the other beats hardest for

Inside this place is warm

Outside it starts to pour

Comin' down

One love, two mouths

One love, one house

No shirt, no blouse

Just us, you find out

Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about at all

No, no, no

'Cause it's too cold for you here

And now, so let me hold

Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

Too cold for you here

And now, so let me hold

Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

...

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh)

The holes of my sweater

She knows what I think about

And what I think about

Oooh ooh, one love, two mouths

(The holes of my sweater)

One love, one house

('Cause it's too cold)

She knows what I think about

And what I think about

(For you here)

One love, two mouths (and now)

One love, one house (so let me hold)

She knows what I think about

And what I think about

(Both your hands in)

One love, two mouths

The holes of my sweater

'Cause it's too cold for you here

And now, so let me hold

Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

...
