Come to me, baby
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Love me, baby
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Come to me, baby
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Love me, baby
Why, oh why,
did you catch my eye?
Why did you come
and touch me to my very soul?
Why, oh why,
did you catch my eye?
Why did you come
and touch me to my very soul?
Like a kite...
Swaying like a kite,
I am flying because of you.
Closing my eyes...
If you just come searching for me,
my life will find its fulfillment in you.
At this glass heart of mine,
do not throw a stone.
Struggling to live on,
yearning only for your love...
With no direction in sight,
this life is driving me crazy.
Come and be my guiding way,
give me your love.
You are candy...
You are candy...
Like an ant trailing behind you,
I will follow you always.
Why, oh why,
did you catch my eye?
Why did you come
and touch me to my very soul?
Why, oh why,
did you catch my eye?
Why did you come
and touch me to my very soul?
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Come to me, baby
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Love me, baby
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Come to me, baby
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Love me, baby
To express my love,
when I look around,
there are no words,
none at all.
Atom by atom,
you broke me down
and stole my breath away,
slowly and gently.
Quickly, into your heart,
without looking for reasons,
come to me softly.
In my life,
how was I before this?
I was never this crazy!
From now on in this life,
you are my everything.
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Come to me, baby
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Love me, baby
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Come to me, baby
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Love me, baby
Why, oh why,
did you catch my eye?
Why did you come
and touch me to my very soul?
Why, oh why,
did you catch my eye?
Why did you come
and touch me to my very soul?
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Come to me, baby
Thummalangi dum dum dum
Love me, baby
