My hearts on fire
She is such a liar
She is so divine
Ha ha ha the girl is mine
It kills me without killing me,
the memory of you.
Oh eh oh
Oho eh oh
Even as I wait,
the traces of your footsteps are enough for me, girl.
Come bathe in the endless river flowing within me.
It flutters,
my heart flutters.
It throbs,
it throbs restlessly every day.
My deep love will never fade.
When I was
by your side, oh it was bliss!
When you were
by my side, oh it was bliss!
Only our bodies part here,
your soul lives on inside me.
Look at me and walk away as if you didn't.
Hear me and walk away as if you didn't.
Even if you do,
I will hold you tenderly with my eyes,
and whisper gently in your ears.
You are a gentle pet cat,
and you are a wild flower too.
What do I care wherever you wander?
You are always in my heart, girl.
Hey stop, girl! Hey stop!
Girlfriend, you got me
calling now,
wondering what love is all about.
I wanna get you by my side,
take you up into the sky,
so we can, we can fly.
It will be alright,
it will be alright.
Good to see that I could see,
good to be where I could be,
understand what it means to me.
My only love will come alive.
Of so many, you could be
my very best friend,
a love story that never will end.
I'll be there to hold you
if you were to fall down.
I'll pick you right back up
and take you around,
around, around, around.
It leaps without restraint,
this longing of mine.
Oh eh oh
Oh eh oh
Why do we need words?
A glance from your eyes is enough, girl.
Don't go away, run towards me!
It flutters,
my heart flutters.
It throbs,
it throbs restlessly every day.
Let me tell you once again
what's going inside my mind.
I look to search within,
it's only you I find.
Even if the world was ending,
you are all that I would need.
It is so simple, girl,
it's only you and me.
Of so many, you could be
my very best friend,
a love story that never will end.
I'll be there to hold you
if you were to fall down.
I'll pick you right back up
and take you around,
around, around, around.
It flutters,
my heart flutters.
It throbs,
it throbs restlessly every day.
My deep love will never fade;
even if we part, it will never break.
When I was
by your side, oh it was bliss!
When you were
by my side, oh it was bliss!
Only our bodies part here,
your soul lives on inside me.
My heart's on fire,
she is such a liar,
she is so divine,
ha ha ha, the girl is mine!
