[English]

I woke up with a fear this morning

But I can taste you on the tip of my tongue

Alarm without no warning

You're by my side and we've got smoke in our lungs

Last night we were way up, kissing in the back of the cab

And then you say "love, baby, let's go back to my flat"

And when we wake up, never had a feeling like that

I got a reason, so man, put that record on again

I don't want to hear sad songs anymore

I only want to hear love songs

I found my heart up in this place tonight

Don't want to sing mad songs anymore

Only want to sing your song

Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

Yeah, you know your song's got me feeling like I'm

No fear but I think I'm falling

I'm not proud

But I'm usually the type of girl that would hit and run

No risk so I think I'm all in

When I kiss your lips, feel my heartbeat thump

And now we're way up, dancing on the roof of the house

And then we make love, right there on your best friend's couch

And then you say "love, this is what it's all about"

So keep on kissing my mouth and put that record on again

I don't want to hear sad songs anymore

I only want to hear love songs

I found my heart up in this place tonight

Don't want to sing mad songs anymore

Only want to sing your song

Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

Yeah, you know your song's got me feeling like I'm

I don't want to hear sad songs anymore

I only want to hear love songs

I found my heart up in this place tonight

I don't want to sing mad songs anymore

I only want to sing your song

Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm

I don't want to hear sad songs anymore

I only want to hear love songs

I found my heart up in this place tonight

I don't want to sing mad songs anymore

Only want to sing your song

Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

Yeah, you know your song's got me feeling like I'm

• You're by my side and we've got smoke in our lungs

  ➔ Present Continuous + Present Perfect

  ➔ "You're" is the present continuous, indicating a current state. "We've got" is the present perfect, showing a state resulting from a past action (inhaling smoke). The 'and' connects two simultaneous states.
