Why are you looking at me like this, girl?
Something is stirring deep inside me.
Why are you talking to me like this, girl?
When will you come and take my hand?
Why are you doing this to me, girl?
You are expressing your love with your eyes.
Why are you teasing me like this, girl?
I will tie the wedding knot right before your eyes.
Bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom
Why are you looking at me like this, girl?
Something is stirring deep inside me.
Why are you talking to me like this, girl?
When will you come and take my hand?
Why are you doing this to me, girl?
You are expressing your love with your eyes.
Why are you teasing me like this, girl?
I will tie the wedding knot right before your eyes.
Bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom
I thought you were just a sweet young girl,
so why are you tormenting my heart like this, girl?
I thought you were as tender as a senna flower bud,
so why are you making me run around in circles, girl?
I thought of you as my dearest cousin and bride,
so why are you hiding away from me, girl?
I thought you were as pure as fresh milk,
so why are you turning sour and curdling, girl?
Mistaking me for some ghost or evil spirit,
why are you calling the entire village together, girl?
Just when a spring of love is welling up within me,
why are you standing there sulking in silence, girl?
Bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom
Why are you looking at me like this, girl?
Something is stirring deep inside me.
Why are you talking to me like this, girl?
When will you come and take my hand?
Why are you doing this to me, girl?
You are expressing your love with your eyes.
Why are you teasing me like this, girl?
I will tie the wedding knot right before your eyes.
Bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom
There is no one here ordering you to cook,
so why are you waiting for the right moment, girl?
There is no one here asking you to do the laundry,
so why are you questioning and grilling me so much, girl?
I am right here to do all the household work,
so tell me what else you could possibly want, girl!
Just like circling around a temple and its holy pond,
I keep circling endlessly around you, girl.
You are the grown woman I adore,
my very own angel!
What more could there ever be, girl?
If you just give birth to six or seven children for me,
that alone is more than enough for me, girl!
Bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom
Why are you looking at me like this, girl?
Something is stirring deep inside me.
Why are you talking to me like this, girl?
When will you come and take my hand?
Why are you doing this to me, girl?
You are expressing your love with your eyes.
Why are you teasing me like this, girl?
I will tie the wedding knot right before your eyes.

In this track, the protagonist playfully complains about his beloved's mixed signals and teasing behavior. Though she acts distant and plays hard to get, her eyes reveal her true affection. He humorously reassures her that he will handle all household chores once married and envisions a blissful family life together with children.
