No, no, no again, not this time
I’ve got butterflies in my stomach
My hands are sweating
I’m drying on my shirt
It’s throwing me off
Every time he looks at me, each
Hair flip, it kills three
Me, my heart, and the plan
To not get involved again
I’m afraid I’ve fallen in love
I fell in love, I fell in love
I’m afraid I gave in
I gave in, I surrendered
I was afraid to let it happen, I let it happen, I let it happen
As soon as I got close, I got attached
I’m afraid I’ve fallen in love
I fell in love, I fell in love, I fell in love, I fell in love
I’m afraid I gave in
I gave in, I surrendered
I was afraid to let it happen, I let it happen, I let it happen
As soon as I got close, I got attached
Finally, Henrique and Juliano!
Hello, Jorge
Hey, Matheus
Oh-oh-oh, my stomach’s twisting
My hands are sweating
I’m drying on my shirt
It’s throwing me off
And every time he looks at me crooked
Hair flip, it kills three
Me, my heart, and the plan
To not get involved again
I’m afraid I’ve fallen in love
I fell in love, I fell in love
I’m afraid I gave in
I gave in, I surrendered
'Twas afraid to let it happen, I let it happen, I let it happen
As soon as I got close, I got attached
I’m afraid I’ve fallen in love
(I fell in love, I fell in love, I fell in love)
I’m afraid I gave in
I gave in, I surrendered
'Twas afraid to let it happen, I let it happen, I let it happen
As soon as I got close, I got attached
I’m afraid I’ve fallen in love (I fell in love)
So, did you fall?
How can you not fall?
