[English]

My life will never be the same

Cause girl you came and changed

The way I walk

The way I talk

I cannot explain

These things I feel for you

But girl, you know it's true

Stay with me

Fulfill my dreams

And I'll be all you need

Feels so right

I've searched for the perfect love all my life

Feels like I have finally found a perfect love this time

Come on, girl

You rocked my world

(You rocked my world, you know you did)

The way you talk to me

The way you're loving me

The way you give it to me

(You rocked my world, you know you did)

The rarest love who'd think I'd find

Someone like you to call mine

In time

I knew that love would bring

Such happiness to me

I tried to keep my sanity

I've waited patiently

Girl, you know it seems

My life is so complete

A love that's true

Because of you

Keep doing what you do

Think that I

Finally found the perfect love I've searched for all my life

(You rocked my world, you know you did)

You rock my world (You rock my world you know you did)

Get off me!

You rock my world

Someone like you to call mine!
