[English]

I, I’ve been up all week Not getting any sleep

Trying to read the signs I, don’t know how much more I can take

How much longer I can wait Before I lose my mind

You, for heaven’s sake You take my breathe away

When you’re not even trying You got me wondering what, what if you were

mine

Oh baby Come on and say it now

Just let the words come out Tell me you love me

It’s easy Just say what’s on your mind

Say it a million times Tell me you love me

Come on, I know it’s way too soon

But I waited for you And I think that’s long enough

So long, To all those lonely nights

Battles and picking fights It’s already been done

I, can’t believe my eyes How on earth did I find

Myself so far in love We, could be the perfect match

And what's so wrong with that

Oh baby Come on and say it now

Just let the words come out Tell me you love me

It’s easy Just say what’s on your mind

Say it a million times Tell me

you love me
