[English]

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, o-

You live in my dream state

Relocate my fantasy

I stay in reality

You live in my dream state

Any time I count sheep

That's the only time we make up, make up

You exist behind my eyelids, my eyelids

Now I don't wanna wake up

20-20, 20-20 vision

Cupid hit me, Cupid hit me with precision

I wonder if you look both ways

When you cross my mind (yeah), I said, I said

I'm sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of chasing

You're the one that's always running through my daydream, I (huh)

I can only see your face when I close my eyes (uh-huh)

Can I get a kiss? (Ah)

And can you make it last forever? (I said)

I said I'm 'bout to go to war (uh-huh)

And I don't know if I'ma see you again

Can I get a kiss? (Can I?)

And can you make it last forever? (Can you?)

I said I'm 'bout to go to war ('bout to)

And I don't know if I'ma see you again

Ugh, switch it up

I said, okay, okay, okay, okey-dokey, my infatuation (oh, oh, whoo)

Interrelatin' to another form of, what you call it? (Love)

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, I ain't met you, I've been lookin' (oh)

Stop the waitin' 'fore I stop the chasin', like a alcoholic

"You don't understand me," what the fuck do you mean?

It's them rose-tinted cheeks, yeah, it's them dirt-colored eyes

Sugar-honey iced tea, bumblebee on the scene

Yeah, I'd give up my bakery to have a piece of your pie

Ugh

20-20, 20-20 vision

Cupid hit me, Cupid hit me with precision

I wonder if you look both ways

When you cross my mind, I said, I said (uh-huh)

I'm sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of chasing

You're the one that's always running through my daydream, I

I can only see your face when I close my eyes

(So)

Can I get a kiss? (Can I get a kiss?)

And can you make it last forever? (Make it last forever)

I said I'm 'bout to go to war ('bout to go to war)

I don't know if I'ma see you again (see you again)

Can I get a kiss? (Can I?)

And can you make it last forever? (Can you?)

I said I'm 'bout to go to war ('bout to)

And I don't know if I'ma see you again

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, o- (la-la-la, la-la-la-la)

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, o- (la-la-la, la-la-la-la)

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, o- (la-la-la, la-la-la-la)

Okay, okay, okay, okay, o- (la-la-la, la-la-)

One more time?
