[English]

There comes a time in a man's life

Where he must take responsibility

For the choices he has made

There are certain things that he must do

Things that he must say

Like, I love you

And, I need you

I only want you

And nobody's going to know if it's true

I never thought I'd feel this kind of hesitation (To put)

My hand on another girl (Ooh)

I wish I didn't have to lie

I wish I could let you know

'Cause I love you

And I need you

I only want you

And nobody's going to know if it's true

Valerie (Oh, Valerie)

I know you can see through me

(I know you can see through my lies, oh oh)

Valerie (Oh Valerie)

You just choose to never know

(No you just don't know, what I do, what I do)

Valerie (Valerie)

Why pretend to trust in me?

(I don't know why you try to trust in me, baby but I think I might know)

Valerie (Oh-oh, Valerie)

You'd rather this than be alone

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

'Cause I love you

And I need you

I only want you

And nobody's going to know if it's true

'Cause I love you

And I need you

I only want you

And nobody's going to know if it's true

And I love you

('Cause I love you baby)

And I need you

(When I need, need)

I only want you

And nobody gonna know (Oh-ooh)
