[English]

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

You gotta listen up, listen up

There's not a thing that I can't get from you

Boy, I don't need that much, need that much

How can I tell you what I wanna do?

I never needed you to give me things

I never needed gifts or diamond rings

All I ever need I, need I

All I ever need is here with you

Baby, there's a place were we can go

Where it's always shining like the snow

Listen to your heart beat, don't you know

That I just wanna be with you?

Baby, there's a place were we can go

Where it's always shining like the snow

Listen to your heart beat, don't you know

That I just wanna be with you?

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, I can't get enough, get enough

Don't ever let me be away from you

I'm gonna hold you tight, hold you tight

'Cause you're the only thing that I can't lose

I never needed you to give me things

I never needed gifts or diamond rings

All I ever need I, need I

All I ever need is here with you

Baby, there's a place were we can go

Where it's always shining like the snow

Listen to your heart beat, don't you know

That I just wanna be with you?

Baby, there's a place were we can go

Where it's always shining like the snow

Listen to your heart beat, don't you know

That I just wanna be with you?

Oh, oh

You can't buy your way into my heart (oh, oh)

But you don't see that I just want you (oh, oh)

You get me things, but I don't care (oh, oh)

Baby, there's a place were we can go

Where it's always shining like the snow

Listen to your heart beat, don't you know

That I just wanna be with you?

Baby, there's a place were we can go

Where it's always shining like the snow

Listen to your heart beat, don't you know

That I just wanna be with you?

Oh, oh
