I took one look at you, and you give me quite a kick!
I'm in love, you're in love, don't back out now!
Oh my, baby, baby, loving, loving you!
Darling, darling, don't brag so much!
I took one look at you, and you're such a hotshot!
I'm in love, you're in love, don't fool around!
You landed a knockout blow, I am...
...from the proud Sarpatta (Madras boxing clan) lineage!

nothing more than a plastic lid!
Female: Ah... aha!

This is love college, girl, so when is the wedding?
Teach me good lessons and make me a brand new man!
Alright, let's exchange wedding garlands,
take good care of your body,
and make me your partner!
