Lyrics:

[English]

So, if you want something

And you call, call

Then I'll come running

To fight

And I'll be at your door

When there's nothing worth running for

When your mind's made up

When your mind's made up

There's no point trying to change it

When your mind's made up

When your mind's made up

There's no point trying to stop it, you see

You're just like everyone

When the shit falls

All you wanna do is run away

And hide all by yourself

When there's far from, there's nothing else

When your mind's made up

When your mind's made up

There's no point trying to change it

When your mind's made up

When your mind's made up

There's no point even talking

When your mind's made up

When your mind's made up

There's no point trying to fight it

When your mind's, your mind

Love, love

There's no point trying to change it

When your love

So if you ever want something

And you call, call

Then I'll come running

...
