You walked in looking so stylish,
and stood there looking so stunning!
If you just stand there in silence,
what is going on with you, sir?

Before melting away like ice,
everything feels so nice on its own.

So what if it is spent? It does not matter,
money will just flow away afterwards!

How many people go crazy
and lose their minds over me?

Like a beating drum, along with their eyes,
their hearts throb because of this woman!
