[English]

Caught up in a feeling that I can't fight

Oh, you know I like you, yeah, you're alright

But I don't know what you're thinking

Breaking into my life 'cause I can't let

Can't let you take over my mind

(Who said that?)

Who said I was gonna love you

Till the end of time, till the end of time?

Boy who said you're the only one for me?

(Who said that?)

Who said I was gonna love you

Till the end of time, till the end of time?

Boy, who said you're the only one for me?

You know I don't need you to buy me a diamond

If I ever need it, I'll get it myself

Gotta love a tryer, maybe someday I might

But for now I can't let, can't let you take over my mind

(Who said that?)

Who said I was gonna love you

Till the end of time, till the end of time?

Boy, who said you're the only one for me?

(Who said that?)

Who said I was gonna love you

Till the end of time, till the end of time?

Boy, who said you're the only one for me?

Who, who

Who said that?

Who, who

Who said you're the only one for me?

Feel a change inside of me

Here I am singing rnb to you

Been trying to keep it away

But I know I've got to close my eyes

Don't be shy to be an ancient fool

Maybe we'll make it through

Who said I was gonna love you?

I got other things to do as well

(Who said that?)

Who said I was gonna love you

Till the end of time, till the end of time?

Boy, who said you're the only one for me?

(Who said that?)

Who said I was gonna love you

Till the end of time, till the end of time?

Boy, who said you're the only one for me?

Who, who

Who said that?

Who, who

Who said you're the only one for me?

Who, who

Who said that?

Who, who

Who said you're the only one for me?
