Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho………
Ho ho hoh ho you
When she looks straight at me,
my head spins a little.
With her playful smile,
my heart shatters into a hundred pieces.
Oh no, don't look at me,
don't strike me down!
As my heart grows weak,
wanting to live just for you,
Suddenly, suddenly,
suddenly, suddenly,
don't look at me so suddenly!
With a flutter, with a flutter,
with a flutter, with a flutter,
don't make my heart skip a beat!
A kick, a kick,
a kick, a kick,
there is a real kick in your look!
A glance, a glance,
a glance, a glance,
it won't hurt if you cast a glance and go!
Don't look at me,
don't strike me with your gaze!
Don't look at me,
don't strike me with your gaze!
The car they shout out and sell,
look, it's driving down the road!
If we go in it together, it'll be amazing!
Chorus: Yeah, girl...
Just ask around the neighborhood,
who is there to beat me?
If you say yes, life will be fantastic!
Chorus: Say it, girl...
So white,
and so bright,
is milk!
Chorus: Hey!
Male: But its expiry date
is just a single day!
Chorus: Hoo!
So dark,
and so brown,
is honey!
Chorus: Hey!
Male: Hey girl, just like that, I
will never go bad, my dear!
Suddenly, suddenly,
suddenly, suddenly,
don't look at me so suddenly!
With a flutter, with a flutter,
with a flutter, with a flutter,
don't make my heart skip a beat!
A kick, a kick,
a kick, a kick,
there is a real kick in your look!
A glance, a glance,
a glance, a glance,
it won't hurt if you cast a glance and go!
Yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah...
Yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah...
Your smile is simply incredible,
who could ever beat your beauty?
Only that ego coming in between us—
we don't need that between us, girl!
Musical.ly is totally boring,
watch me compose a song now!
Setting a beat with my crew,
I'm going to sing for you, girl!
Hey hey...
Male: Come on...
let's go together
for a date and a meetup!
Making a funny pout with our lips,
shall I take a selfie?
Look at the love in my eyes,
give me a sweet kiss!
If you say yes to it,
shall I become your husband?
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho...
