Love Like This One

Caroline: Hey Marie you're not going to
believe it, I met the perfect boy
Marie: Oh yeah that's crazy, me too
Caroline: You got to be kidding me,
Where'd you meet him?
Marie: At that hot spot on Saturday night

Caroline: What? No way,
that place must be lucky,
Because that's where I met my boy

Friday night he came to me whispered
in my ear, and told me I was pretty
Where have I seen him before
First in my dreams, and now on the dance floor

Caroline: I never knew
I'd find a love like this one
Marie: Like this one
Caroline: Running round with you
my boy is so fun
Marie: Is so fun
Caroline: When i kiss his lips its like
I'm in another world
Marie: I'm in another world
Caroline: One where you're the only boy and
I'm the only girl

何もかも嘘みたい
眩しくてあなたが見えKnight
どこにいたの?これまでのLife
月の下 Dancing 今夜眠んない

Marie:夢の出会い MYチャンス到来ですWOW!
Caroline: Like this one
Marie:駆け合うWITH YOU 恋の疾走感
Caroline: Is so fun
Marie: キスすれば別世界夢の中だわ
Caroline: I'm in another world
Marie: あなたがオンリー・ボーイ
私がオンリー・ガール

Marie: Your guy sounds amazing
Caroline: Ya your guy sounds really cute too
Marie; Well, whatever
I can't wait for you to meet him
Caroline: Maybe we should go on a double date
Marie: Let's see what they are doing
tomorrow night

Who woulda thought that time could stop
Who coulda known that we'd hit the top
I could be your queen you could be my king
Cause I can't lose with you on my team
We could wear our crowns with the top down
We could go for rounds around town
Just let me know when its time to go
You're the star of my show

Caroline: I never knew
I'd find a love like this one
Marie: Like this one
Caroline: Running round with you
my boy is so fun
Marie: Is so fun
Caroline: When i kiss his lips, It's like
I'm in another world
Marie: I'm in another world
Caroline: One where you're the only boy and
I'm the only girl

Marie: You're the hottest boy, and
I'm the hottest girl in the world!
