I am only longing for you, girl
Will you do me a favour?
I am only longing for you, girl
Will you come as my saviour?
Give yourself to me...
Ship away your shyness for export
It is truly so...
You are the pharmacy that gives the cure, girl
Give yourself to me...
Ship away your shyness for export
It is truly so...
You are the pharmacy that gives the cure, girl
I searched...
Hey, a gentle girl like you,
I have never seen
I yearned...
In the direction my eyes wandered,
Is it wrong if your heart goes there too?
Like a swaying tree,
You just stay there
The wind that made you sway,
Is me, realise that
To have an argument,
Where is the time?
Quickly, win me over
From the pen of a crazy lover,
An epic is being carved
As you walked past,
I saw graceful dance
Could she have changed her ways?
A doubt rises inside me
I like that you have no false modesty
Endless desires,
In millions, come right before me, girl
To share a message of sweet passion,
My sleepless eyes are in a hurry
Closeness again and again makes me yearn once more,
Wild desires for you
Girl, it is everlasting,
This longing of mine
Longing...
Give yourself to me...
Ship away your shyness for export
It is truly so...
You are the pharmacy that gives the cure, girl
Give yourself to me...
Ship away your shyness for export
It is truly so...
You are the pharmacy that gives the cure, girl
I am only longing for you, girl
Will you do me a favour?
My girl, why did you forget me?
Is the blessing of not parting just longing for you?
This longing for you,
It is a pathway of its own,
A new kind of magic
A longing that arrived out of nowhere,
With a playful intent
Admit it, this pleasure is a melody
You are an endless joy
Come again, come...
Give yourself to me...
Ship away your shyness for export
It is truly so...
You are the pharmacy that gives the cure, girl
It is truly so...
It is truly so... export it
