No way I don't know nothing about you / And that's the true / I swear I never fall in love / Before I saw you
No way / I don't know the way / To say I'm in love with you / If you want to stay / With me okay / It's up to you / If you don't care / I will stay / Just next to you / No way no no way
No way / If you go away
I will cry but it's up to you / Don't be sorry bout me / The night I will dream about you / No way no no way / To say how much I love you
I don't know the way / To play fair play / I don't know where are the night and the day / All I know today / It's at the finish / It's black jack or OD
