Man, she looks so amazing!
She knocked me completely off my feet!
She shone bright just like pure gold,
A world of pure intoxication!
She smiled just a little bit,
And finished me off completely!
She is as lovely as my own mother, man!
Hey, I'm lost in thoughts of her, pining away,
If she glares at me, I just blink helplessly,
Every day, along the path she walks,
I wander aimlessly.
I yearn to be born as her eyelashes,
I wish to live on as her dream,
I will make it happen and give her everything,
I will cherish and stand by her every single day!
Man, she looks so amazing!
She knocked me completely off my feet!
She shone bright just like pure gold,
A world of pure intoxication!
At first, I didn't understand it much,
She brushes against my heart in a strange way,
She stirs my soul and shakes me up inside,
I feel like I've been born anew!
Even without roaming, just staying at home,
I take baths several times a day,
I'm delightfully confused and bouncing with joy because of you!
Oh man, she cast just a single glance at me,
And stitched it inside my eyes as a lasting memory.
If anyone asks me what I want,
I will ask only for you.
Did I do something wrong, or is this the sweet pain of love?
I keep gazing at you in my loneliness,
Come to me just once, girl, can we be together?
Man, she looks so amazing!
She knocked me completely off my feet!
She shone bright just like pure gold,
A world of pure intoxication!
She smiled just a little bit,
And finished me off completely!
She is as lovely as my own mother, man!
