[English]

Baby, life was good to me

But you just made it better

I love the way you stand by me

Through any kind of weather

I don't wanna run away, just wanna make your day

When you feel the world is on your shoulders

I don't wanna make it worse, just wanna make us work

Baby, tell me, I will do whatever

It feels like nobody ever knew me until you knew me

Feels like nobody ever loved me until you loved me

Feels like nobody ever touched me until you touched me

Baby, nobody, nobody until you

...

Baby, it just took one hit of you

Now I'm addicted

You never know what's missing

'Til you get everything you needed

I don't wanna run away, just wanna make your day

When you feel the world is on your shoulders

I don't wanna make it worse, just wanna make us work

Baby, tell me, I will do whatever

It feels like nobody ever knew me until you knew me

Feels like nobody ever loved me until you loved me

Feels like nobody ever touched me until you touched me

Baby, nobody, nobody until you

...

See, it was enough to know if I ever let you go

I would be no one

'Cause I never thought I'd feel all the things you made me feel

Wasn't looking for someone

Oh, until you

It feels like nobody ever knew me until you knew me

Feels like nobody ever loved me until you loved me

Feels like nobody ever touched me until you touched me

Baby, nobody, nobody

It feels like nobody ever knew me until you knew me

Feels like nobody ever loved me until you loved me

Feels like nobody ever touched me until you touched me

Baby, nobody, nobody

Nobody, nobody until you

...
