[English]

This love is gettin' kind of dangerous

Feels like it's a loaded gun

My-my, it's turning like a cloud of dust

My heart always wants to run

Oh, oh, oh-oh

If you want a cowboy on a white horse

Ridin' off into the sunset

If that's the kind of love you wanna wait for

Hold on tight, girl, I ain't there yet

No, I ain't there yet

No, I ain't there yet

...

White horse

...

Someday, maybe you could have your way

Right now's just not the time

...

Something a man just got to do

I wish you could change my mind

Oh, oh, oh-oh

If you want a cowboy on a white horse

Ridin' off into the sunset

If that's the kind of love you wanna wait for

Hold on tight, girl, I ain't there yet

No, I ain't there yet

No, I ain't there yet

...

White horse

...

If you want a cowboy on a white horse

Ridin' off into the sunset

If that's the kind of love you wanna wait for

Hold on tight, girl, I ain't there

If you want a cowboy on a white horse

Ridin' off into the sunset

If that's the kind of love you wanna wait for

Hold on tight, girl, I ain't there yet

No, I ain't there yet

No, I ain't there yet

...

White horse
