Shock adikkadha
She lifted me up in the air
and tossed me away... hey!
Like a spinning top,
she left me spinning around!
Is this fair? Is this right?
Tell me at least a little before you leave!
I stand here longing to pamper you,
yet you make me plead and beg!
Oh beautiful girl, why
do you toss me around like this?
Oh my girl... hey... I can't bear it!
Don't just leave without saying a word!
Oh my girl... hey... I can't bear it!
Don't just leave without saying a word!
Don't spark current with your eyes
and give me an electric shock!
Rolling your big round eyes,
you startle and scare me!
Just like a sculpted statue,
you stand so gracefully!
In this lovely game of love,
you grab and drown me!
Watching for the moment I gasp for breath,
you make me struggle and swim!
My princess, oh my princess,
why do you make me whimper like this?
Sneaking into my dreams in the middle of the night,
you roll me up like a sleeping mat and push me aside!
Oh my girl... hey... I can't bear it!
Don't just leave without saying a word!
Oh my girl... hey... I can't bear it!
Don't just leave without saying a word!
She lifted me up in the air
and tossed me away... hey!
Like a spinning top,
she left me spinning around!
Is this fair? Is this right?
Tell me at least a little before you leave!
I stand here longing to pamper you,
yet you make me plead and beg!
Oh beautiful girl, why
do you toss me around like this?
Oh my girl... hey... I can't bear it!
Don't just leave without saying a word!
Oh my girl... hey... I can't bear it!
Don't just leave without saying a word!
Don't spark current with your eyes
and give me an electric shock!

Despite her teasing, playfulness, and elusive behavior, he is completely captivated by her sculpted grace and yearns for her attention.
