Verse 1:

I love you, I love you,
I need you, I want you!
You're just the one that I adore.
I'm waiting, I'm waiting,
But you're hesitating,
Tell me what you're waiting for:

Chorus:

If you would be the only, only one for me,
Then I would be the only, only one for you.
You've got me so,
Don't you know,
Can't you guess?
I'll hang around
Till you're bound
To say, "Yes."
If you would love me truly, ooly, ooly-oo,
Then I would love you truly, ooly, ooly, too.
If you would only be
The only one for me,
I'd be the only, only one for you.

Verse 2:

I love you, I love you,
I want you, I need you!
Oh, let me say it just once more.
I'm sighing, I'm sighing,
No use in denying,
You're the one I'm sighing for:

[Chorus]
