Girl, just looking at you over and over, I melted away...
And beautifully, this six-foot-tall man blossomed...
All day long, your sweet scent only adds to my desire...
It charges at me like a wild, untamed elephant...
My life, your sideways glance spins like a wheel inside my heart...
Girl, just looking at you over and over, I melted away...
And beautifully, this six-foot-tall man blossomed...
Why do you scan me from head to toe as you walk past?
You make your bangles tighten around me like a noose...
With your alluring beauty, you show hints of rising passion...
Without stepping away even for a second, you kindle a fire in me...
You are everywhere in everything, with thoughts of you burning like fire...
I held on tight and nailed your memory deep into my heart...
Girl, just looking at you over and over, I melted away...
Like an ache in my thoughts, yet soothing me completely like a mother...
I found you, I found you—why did you stir me up like this, girl?
Girl, just looking at you over and over, I melted away...
And beautifully, this six-foot-tall man blossomed...
All day long, your sweet scent only adds to my desire...
It charges at me like a wild, untamed elephant...
My life, your sideways glance spins like a wheel inside my heart...

Throughout the track, the rural imagery depicts love as an all-consuming element—comparing desire to a rogue elephant, a spinning wheel in the chest, and an unextinguishable fire.
