Oh girl,
Seeing you fills me with so much joy
What magic did you work on me?
Oh girl, into my heart
Your arrow pierces right through
What am I supposed to do?
Oh girl,
Seeing you fills me with so much joy
What magic did you work on me?
Oh girl, into my heart
Your arrow pierces right through
What am I supposed to do?
Inside my eyes,
Lightning flashes and goes by
Deep inside my heart,
Butterflies bloom
Girl, just having you is enough for me
Your lap is my... pam.. pam…
Oh girl,
Seeing you fills me with so much joy
What magic did you work on me...
Like a cool breeze in the summer heat,
You are a spring of fresh water in the desert
Like a cool breeze in the summer heat,
You are a spring of fresh water in the desert
To a poet standing out on the street,
You are a fresh song riding a gentle breeze
I was living in a mirage...
I was living in a mirage,
Yet reached the shore without getting drenched
Having you right by my side
To cuddle and love me is pure bliss
Oh girl,
Seeing you fills me with so much joy
What magic did you work on me...
This life we live is so short,
And I want you for all the days I have left
This life we live is so short,
And I want you for all the days I have left
Wrap me around you like clothing,
Covering your entire body
The sweet whispers of your lips, once again...
The sweet whispers of your lips, once again,
Must gently drift across my skin
Under the gaze of your loving eyes,
Walking my path is pure bliss... pam... pam...
Oh girl,
Seeing you fills me with so much joy
What magic did you work on me?
Oh girl, into my heart
Your arrow pierces right through
What am I supposed to do?
Inside my eyes,
Lightning flashes and goes by
Deep inside my heart,
Butterflies bloom
Girl, just having you is enough for me
Your lap is my... pam.. pam…
Oh girl,
Seeing you fills me with so much joy
What magic did you work on me...
