Hey, got caught, got caught!
The fish comes right into the net!
Hey, drop by drop, drop by drop,
love rushes in like a wave!
I admired her in millions of dreams,
but she didn't even notice me back then.
Now you stand right before me, smiling and talking,
and you're almost saying yes!
Between you and me,
the match is fantastic!
Just watch, the whole world
will admire us!
It has to cross a hundred,
just listen to our love score!
Chorus: Why won't you, oh why won't you,
Just say yes, girl, say yes,
let's fall in love, girl!
Chorus: Why won't you,
Just look at me, girl, look at me,
I'll always be your shadow, girl...
Chorus: Why won't you,
You just say yes, say yes,
you're the only match for me!
Oh, completely, totally, all the way,
we can have a great life together from now on, come to me!
Hey, you stand at a distance and look at me,
you smile softly and captivate me!
Hey, you bloom like a flower on my shirt,
you clever girl who captured me!
You pull me in with your eyes,
you steal my heart and blow my mind!
Hey, you jump and dance inside my head,
come to me, you storm that swept me away!
I'll hold you close against my heart,
what other work do I even have?
I'm coming to bring our two hearts together!
Why won't you, oh why won't you,
Just say yes, girl, say yes,
let's fall in love, girl!
Chorus: Why won't you,
Just look at me, girl, look at me,
I'll always be your shadow, girl...
Chorus: Why won't you,
You just say yes, say yes,
you're the only match for me!
Oh, completely, totally, all the way,
we can have a great life together from now on, come to me!
Hey, got caught, got caught!
The fish comes right into the net!
Hey, drop by drop, drop by drop,
love rushes in like a wave...
