She's my girl... she's my girl
She's my girl... she's my girl
What incredible beauty, what a beauty!
My heart has gone completely crazy!
Smiling from the corner of her eyes,
she drove away with my soul!
If she moves even a centimeter away,
emotionally, I fall apart.
A wild and crazy world,
she went and showed me!
Like an old mirror with its coating gone,
I was just a blurry reflection.
Now, like a high-pixel photo,
I've completely transformed!
Whenever I look at her, all my worries
just fly away!
I'm going to write endlessly,
poems of all kinds!
She's my girl... she's my girl
She's my girl...
I will write it on compound walls:
"She's my girl... she's my girl!"
She's my girl...
I will write it on government buses:
"She's my girl!"
What incredible beauty, what a beauty!
My heart has gone completely crazy!
Smiling from the corner of her eyes,
she drove away with my soul... she's my girl!
My girl, my girl
She's my girl
My girl, my girl
She's my girl
Life's twists and turns
are not in our hands.
Don't cross the line out of sheer excitement!
Is it true love or just hide-and-seek?
Only time can tell.
Vaa vaa aah... haa...
Haa... aa... haa... aah...
When you scold me calling me a fool,
it feels as sweet as candy!
Inside my shirt, my heart
hits sudden brakes!
As if on a roller coaster,
my days race by,
and popping my collar up,
I dance along with joy!
Before love, my life
was just plain dull and dragged out.
After love, in my life,
everything is on a high!
Let whoever wants to glare, keep glaring!
Let barking dogs keep on barking!
She's my girl... she's my girl!
She's my girl...
I'll shout it out for the world to hear!
She's my girl... she's my girl!
She's my girl...
I'm going to look at God and tell Him!
What incredible beauty, what a beauty!
My heart has gone completely crazy!
Smiling from the corner of her eyes,
she drove away with my soul...
Like an old mirror with its coating gone,
I was just a blurry reflection.
Now, like a high-pixel photo,
I've completely transformed!
Whenever I look at her, all my worries
just fly away!
I'm going to write endlessly,
poems of all kinds!
She's my girl... she's my girl!
She's my girl...
I will write it on compound walls:
"She's my girl... she's my girl!"
She's my girl...
I will write it on government buses:
"She's my girl!"
Let whoever wants to glare, keep glaring!
Let barking dogs keep on barking!
She's my girl... my girl...
