[English]

Something in my body

Something that's in my soul

Tells me you're somebody

Someone I need to know

No, I can't leave here sorry

If I just let this go

Don't wanna hear my heart say

"I told you so"

All day, all night

Been looking all my life

Trying to find something new

Still lost, but I, I'll find my way tonight

And I know it's because of you

Eyes are on me

I can feel the fire

Not like anything that I've ever known

Might be the one and only

Chance I get with you

And I'll regret it if I take it too slow

Something in my body

Something that's in my soul

Tells me you're somebody

Someone I need to know

No, I can't leave here, sorry

If I just let this go

Don't wanna hear my heart say

"I told you so"

Don't wanna hear my heart say

"I told you so"

Could run, could hide

But I won't sleep tonight

Wondering what did I lose (oh-oh)

I can't deny

No, when that feelings right

I bet you'll feel the way I do

Oh, your eyes are on me

I can feel the fire

Not like anything that I've ever known

Might be the one and only

Chance I get with you

And I'll regret it if I take it too slow

Something in my body

Something that's in my soul

Tells me you're somebody

Someone I need to know

No, I can't leave here, sorry

If I just let this go

Don't wanna hear my heart say

"I told you so"

Don't wanna hear my heart say

"I told you so"

Most have fallen

Hard, he's all in

This is what it feels like

Most have fallen down

And you know I won't fight

I'm feeling

Something in my body

Something that's in my soul

Tells me you're somebody

Someone I need to know

No, I can't leave here, sorry

If I just let this go

Don't wanna hear my heart say

"I told you so"

(I told you so)

I told you

I, I, I told you so

I told you

I, I, I told you so

I told you

I, I, I told you so

Don't wanna hear my heart say

"I told you so"
