Baby let me be your man
Telling me to keep on talking,
my heart urges me forward.
If told to just look without touching,
my heart simply refuses to listen.
I love you.
Oh oh oh
I love you, oh oh oh
I love you.
I love you.
Even though it is ten o'clock,
sleep does not come to me.
Whenever I think of you,
my eyes stay wide awake.
In the evening time,
I get drenched in the rain.
Thinking of you, I get completely soaked.
Don't know why I am stuck on you...
That I would ever tell you this,
I never expected.
I love you.
Oh oh oh
I love you, oh oh oh
I love you.
I love you.
