[English]

I sleep so hard when you're around

I like the shape of your nose and the little sound

Whistle

Pivot

Let me put my feet on your skin

It's honored

I'll stick with you

'Cause I like sleeping well

I'll let you go

'Cause I like to be without

Somebody

He's honey

I think I lost my center

But it's just in my body

I want him

He wants me

Your neck is short

But your face is long

You're off the cuff

Got something funny going on

And it works for you

Skillet, egg break

Let me put my hand on your headache

It's honored

I'll stick with you

'Cause I like sleeping well

I'll let you go

'Cause I like to be without

Somebody

He's honey

I think I lost my center

But it's just in my body

I want him

He wants me

...

I'll stick with you

'Cause I like sleeping well

I'll let you go

'Cause I like to be without

Somebody

He's honey

I think I lost my center

But it's just in my body

I want him

He wants me

I want him

He wants me

I want him

He wants me
