[English]

×× Count to five and promise me ××

The first time I looked at you, my heart was moved for you

How could I, being so smart, let you go?

The second time I saw you, I actually lost control

It’s my fault, please forgive me

The third time I saw you, I wanted to tell you

I really love you, I truly love you

The fourth time I looked at you, I have some requests

I hope you can quietly listen

One. Let me protect you

Two. Let me take care of you

Three. All requests cannot be treated as a game

Four. Accept this fate

Five. Never be apart

That last one must say you are willing

I wanna be your lover, I wanna be your man

I just want you to be a little happier

Can you be my lover, don’t wanna be your friend

To give you happiness forever

The first time I looked at you, my heart was moved for you

How could I, being so smart, let you go?

The second time I saw you, I actually lost control

It’s my fault, please forgive me

The third time I saw you, I wanted to tell you

I really love you, I truly love you

The fourth time I looked at you, I have some requests

I hope you can quietly listen

One. Let me protect you

Two. Let me take care of you

Three. All requests cannot be treated as a game

Four. Accept this fate

Five. Never be apart

Say you are willing

I wanna be your lover, I wanna be your man

I just hope to give you a little more

Can you be my lover, don’t wanna be your friend

To give you happiness every day

Because I wanna be your lover, I wanna be your man

I just want you to be a little happier

Can you be my lover, don’t wanna be your friend

To give you happiness forever

You say you are afraid because you’ve been hurt

No need to be afraid because I am not him

I wanna be your lover, I wanna be your man

I just hope to give you a little more

Can you be my lover, don’t wanna be your friend

To give you happiness every day

Because I wanna be your lover, I wanna be your man

I just want you to be a little happier

Can you be my lover, don’t wanna be your friend

To give you happiness forever
