Hey there, you, who are you?
Playing with my heart
Playing with my heart
Hey there, you
I am lost in search of your love
If my longing for you is all in vain
Let me know if my heart should just give up on you
Hey there, you, who are you?
Hey there, you, who are you?
Why do I feel so cold and lonely?
I have totally lost myself
Gone head over heels for you
