[English]

I don't wanna be the reason

We don't get down

So Imma let you do the leading

And follow you now

See I just don't usually do this

But you're bringing me out

All the doubts I had have gone away

When your touching me I'm not afraid

Know the same, going away, here to stay

I just wanna be your girl

I can be all you want

'Cause you got my heart unlocked

It's so unreal you know

Feel your magic touch

It was such a surprise

I wasn't expecting nothing

Now I'm lit up inside

Your bringing out all the colours

No more black and white

You won the race and got the gold

So here I am, we're good to go

Know the same, going away, here to stay

I just wanna be your girl
