What was she thinking?
She kept smiling again and again.
She fell into a sweet daze.
Why was he so eager and restless?
He held her tightly in his arms.
Why was he so eager and restless?
He held her tightly in his arms.
In his embrace, she discovered what she had never known.
Oh oh oh, aaha aahh...
What was she thinking?
She kept smiling again and again.
She fell into a sweet daze.
Right wherever you find a place,
why do you want to pluck flowers?
In a way that makes the whole town talk,
why did you pull me close and hold me?
What will happen to my innocent heart today,
when you hold me tight and make love to me?
What will happen to my innocent heart today,
when you hold me tight and make love to me?
Is this flower garden our bedroom?
Is this lush green grass a soft mattress?
Oh oh oh, aaha aahh...
What was she thinking? She kept smiling again and again.
She fell into a sweet daze.
On your rosy red lips,
why is there a pale mark?
Your eyes that are usually white as milk,
why have they turned so red?
Cast your shyness aside,
and come stand close by my side.
Tell me, what new trick have you learned?
What an art this is, what sweet pleasure!
Once begun with a touch, it is a story that goes on and on.
What an art this is, what sweet pleasure!
Once begun with a touch, it is a story that goes on and on.
Oh oh oh, aaha aahh...
What was she thinking?
She kept smiling again and again.

He held her tightly in his arms.
In his embrace, she discovered what she had never known.
