Lyrics

I only think about him
Since I saw him
He belongs to another girl
And I like him
I want his love
And he already has someone to love

I know it’s not right
It can’t be
I think about his love
That I will never reach
What can I do
If he already has someone to love

And together I see them walking
And they pass close to me
I know, my crying is foolish
And it’s foolish that I cry for him

And my foolish love
I can’t forget
And I will only forget
If I can find
A boy just like him
Who only loves me

And together I see them walking
And they pass close to me
I know, my crying is foolish
And it’s foolish, if I cry for him

And my foolish love
I can’t forget
And I will only forget
If I can find
A boy just like him
Who only loves me
