[English]

Baby girl, you out your mind; you're way too good for me

Thinkin' 'bout the day we met, you coulda just ignored me

Here I am, layin' next to you, lookin' extra cute in the mornin'

Lookin' back, all through the past, everything before you was borin'

You're the type people wishin' they'd sit next to on a flight

Top the list, who I wanna wash up on a island with

You're the dream, even if we countin' girls in magazines

You're still a mystery

What's someone as beautiful as you

Doin' ridin' 'round with someone like me?

I swear, girl, you could have anyone you choose

I should stop askin' questions 'fore you get up and leave

What's someone as beautiful as you

Doin' wakin' up with someone like me?

Ain't gonna lie; you could have anyone you choose

I should stop askin' questions 'fore you get up and leave

How someone as beautiful as you could just fall out of the blue?

When you're walkin' 'round in my sweater, girl, there's no better view

Spend the rest of forever just treasuring you

Oh, I'll follow you wherever and you know that's the truth, yeah

You're the type people wishin' they'd sit next to on a flight

Top the list, who I wanna spend like every second with

You're the dream, even if we countin' girls up on the screen

Still a mystery

What's someone as beautiful as you

Doin' ridin' 'round with someone like me?

I swear, girl, you could have anyone you choose

I should stop askin' questions 'fore you get up and leave

What's someone as beautiful as you

Doin' wakin' up with someone like me?

Ain't gonna lie, you could have anyone you choose

I should stop askin' questions 'fore you get up and leave

I just had to let you know, know, yeah, yeah (know, know, yeah, yeah)

I could never let you go, go, yeah, yeah (go, go, yeah, yeah)

Oh, I just had to let you know, know, yeah, yeah (know, know, yeah, yeah)

I could never let you go, go, yeah, yeah (go, go, yeah, yeah)

What's someone as beautiful as you

Doin' wakin' up with someone like me?

I swear, girl, you could have anyone you choose

I should stop askin' questions 'fore you get up and leave
