"Я становлюсь сентиментальным с вами.
То, что вы говорите, создают острые ощущения
Пронизывающие меня насквозь,
Я становлюсь сентименаьным с вами.
Я думал, что я был счастлив, что я мог бы жить без любви,
Теперь я должен признать, что любовь есть все, что я имею в виду.
Пожалуйста, будьте добры, и просто измените свой ум
Будьте сладкой и нежной со мной
Потому что я становлюсь сентиментальным рядом с вами".
