तू मेरा है अफ़साना
Makin' me so happy, shakin' my body
तू है आवारा धड़कन, तू है रातों की तड़पन
तू है मेरी दिल-जानाँ
Everything about you, baby, I like it
तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ों के नीचे है मेरे ख़्वाबों की जन्नत
तेरी बाँहों में आ के बेचैनी को मिलती राहत
Everyone, pray with me now, all day, all night long
हरे राम, हरे राम, हरे कृष्णा, हरे राम
हरे राम, हरे राम, हरे कृष्णा, हरे राम
हरे राम, हरे राम, हरे कृष्णा, हरे राम
हरे राम, हरे राम, हरे कृष्णा, हरे राम
तेरी आँखें भूल-भुलैया, बातें हैं भूल-भुलैया
तेरी आँखें भूल-भुलैया, बातें हैं भूल-भुलैया
तेरे सपनों की गलियों में
You keep drivin' me so crazy
दिल में तू रहती है, बेताबी कहती है
I keep prayin' all day
All day, all night long
हरे राम, हरे राम, हरे कृष्णा, हरे राम

In my world, the number one hottie
Everywhere she make him go crazy
Got's to get me, yes, not a maybe

Where is she? I'm searching for this attractive lady
And it ain't like I'd be gettin' naughty
