[English]

Woah woah woah woah woah

Yeah

My day was just black and white

Before you came to me

It was just the same old colorless game every day

Even when I close my eyes and open them again

Same as yesterday

But the moment I saw you

Everything just changed

This excitement feels different

No matter what anyone says

You're the one

Who would give me a breakthrough

Your smile

Makes me so high I can't help it

I've never felt like this before

Cherry on top

Rainbow colored sugar on my sundae

You sweeten my vanilla-like days

Yeah that's what I like

Make it sweeter drizzle on my sundae

Sweeten my vanilla-like days

Every day I feel I need you

See who I am? Why compare me to him?

What you want baby

I'll be sweet like candy for you

Lend me some sugar baby

Smitten already

Look at me, I'm on a different level

Anyone who sees me will recognize me

Day by day, I bring out a new vibe

Just look at me

It's hard doing it alone

I really miss you

Our relationship isn't easy

But I'll try every day

This excitement feels different

No matter what anyone says

You're the one

Who would give me a breakthrough

Your smile

Makes me so high I can't help it

I've never felt like this before

Cherry on top

Rainbow colored sugar on my sundae

You sweeten my vanilla-like days

Yeah that's what I like

Make it sweeter drizzle on my sundae

Sweeten my vanilla-like days

Yeah

I'll take it to the bridge

You sweeten my days

You make 'em so sweet

So damn tasty

You sweeten my days

You make 'em so sweet

So damn tasty

Cherry on top

Rainbow colored sugar on my sundae

You sweeten my vanilla-like days

Yeah, that's what I like

Make it sweeter drizzle on my sundae

Sweeten my vanilla-like days

Sweeten my vanilla-like days
