I want you, I want you
I want you forever
Without dividing into "you" and "me",
I want an "us" that never breaks
I want you, I want you
I want you forever
Without dividing into "you" and "me",
I want an "us" that never breaks
I want the body's rushing warmth
I want an electric touch
I want the rainy season
I want it, I want it
I want you, I want you
I want you forever
Without dividing into "you" and "me",
I want an "us" that never breaks
Hey, like a river flowing with kisses,
I want you to be
Like a fish leaping onto the shore, I want to be
Oh, like a baby on the bed, I want you to be,
And like a toy to play with, I want to be
I want the red of a blush
I want the blue of your eyes
I want the white of a smile
I want the golden glow of your chest
As the colors for my paintbrush,
I want only you forever
Tell me, tell me, tell me, my painting!
Tell me, tell me, tell me, my artist!
I want you, I want you
I want you forever
Without dividing into "you" and "me",
I want an "us" that never breaks
I want a town that knows only your footsteps
I want a name that calls both of us as one
I want a flower that carries only your scent
I want a word of love that only we speak
I want a perfect night
I want gentle moonlight
I want youth that enjoys every moment
I want a dream filled with longing
As my fragrance, as my breath,
I want only you forever
Tell me, tell me, tell me, my artist!
Tell me, tell me, tell me, my painting!
I want you, I want you
I want you forever
Without dividing into "you" and "me",
I want an "us" that never breaks
I want the body's rushing warmth
I want an electric touch
I want the rainy season
I want it, I want it
I want you, I want you
I want you forever
Without dividing into "you" and "me",
I want an "us" that never breaks
