The lyrics to Jackie Chan's song "OK I Love You" are about falling in love unexpectedly and realizing that love can change everything. The song begins by describing the singer's attitude towards relationships, viewing them as silly games and not believing in love. However, when they meet someone special and get to know them through sharing thoughts and feelings, they realize they have fallen in love with them. They forget about their past skepticism towards love and are willing to do anything for this person.
The lyrics are filled with imagery of water, such as "已经干枯的心 点点水珠泛起" (a heart that has dried up and tiny droplets of water surface). This imagery conveys the idea that love can rehydrate a person emotionally and bring life back into their world. The chorus of the song repeats the title phrase "Ok I Love You" to emphasize the singer's confession of their love and desire to be with the person they love.
Overall, the song is a testament to the power of love to change people's attitudes and beliefs. It portrays love as a transformative force that can bring happiness and fulfillment to an individual's life.
