Is it a dimple or a pit of intoxication? You confuse me.
Through my eyes, you enter deep inside me.
Like palm jaggery, you melt me within you.
You chase me through every street and alley like a fighting rooster.
Right where I stand, you spin me around
like a spinning top.
My life rolls into your lap
like rolling wheels.
Right where I stand, you spin me around
like a spinning top.
My life rolls into your lap
like rolling wheels.
Ha aa aa aa aa ha aa
Is it a dimple?
Ha aa aa aa aa ha aa
Or a pit of intoxication?
Ha aa aa aa aa ha aa
Is it a dimple?
Ha aa aa aa aa ha aa
Or a pit of intoxication?
Hey, you pull me in, you snap and reel me in,
you spread your wings with your two eyebrows,
teased by thoughts of you, I'm burning up inside, girl.
You glare at me, you scowl at me,
yet I admire you even in your anger.
Could all the world's beauties put together ever match you, girl?
You are the vowel of my life,
You are the consonant of my life,
My handwriting and my destiny
rest entirely in the glance of your eyes.
Right where I stand, you spin me around
like a spinning top.
My life rolls into your lap
like rolling wheels.
Right where I stand, you spin me around
like a spinning top.
My life rolls into your lap
like rolling wheels.
Ha aa aa aa aa ha aa
Is it a dimple?
Ha aa aa aa aa ha aa
Or a pit of intoxication?

Is it a dimple?
Ha aa aa aa aa ha aa
Or a pit of intoxication?
