[English]

Your eyes on me, your grinning lips

Pretty nice, I like it (Oh yeah)

A to Z you are quite sweet (That's right)

But I wanna skip (Just skip)

But the more important thing (That thing)

Get straight to the point

Stop beating around the bush (I mean L word)

More more more more more more show me more (show me more)

You you you you you let me know you (let me know)

Right now I need some hints

To solve the crosswords about you

Beep beep beep beep beep, the time is up

I think I already know

But I wanna hear you say it

Baby you know the answer YES or YES

Don't wanna waste time with the push-and-pull

Dare to say it now Want it 1 to 10

Let's get started right now

Tell me what you want

Tell me what you need

A to Z tell me everything

But it has to start like this

Talk that talk Just one word

Talk that talk L-O-V-E

Let me hear it Ooh

Now now now now now yeah

Yeah turn it up

Your eyes Look look look

Go up and down Roll roll roll

You read it, the words

That we exchange with our eyes

One by one 1, 2, 3 (Just 1, 2, 3)

Be more gentle ABC (Like ABC)

Don't stop and just replay replay

(Yeah that's my only request)

Baby hold me and say it sweetly (say it sweetly)

Tell me now (Just tell me now)

You know that sometimes the most common words are the best things to say

Favorite part Now's the time (Want it more)

Now we're almost there

Let's get it started Right now

Tell me what you want

Tell me what you need

A to Z tell me everything

But it has to start like this

Talk that talk Just one word

Talk that talk L-O-V-E

Let me hear it Ooh

Now now now now now yeah

The simple words "I love you"

That's all I wanna hear

Without hesitation, I'll go up to you

I'll make it simple

And just tell you I love you

Tell me what you want

Tell me what you need

A to Z although I like it all

This has to be my favorite

Talk that talk Just one word

Talk that talk L-O-V-E

Oh yeah it sounds so good

Makes me fall deeper

Tell me what you want

Tell me what you need

Tell me one more time

That's right, you just said it

Talk that talk Just one word

Talk that talk L-O-V-E

Let me hear it Ooh

Now now now now now yeah
