When you smiled for the first time, Sali Bloo, then I knew
That your style was the right style, Sali Bloo, I want you

Guess I've been in love before
This time's different, that's for sure
Wedding bells are ringing in my ears
Eyes are clear which once were red* with tears
Now I know the time has come
This time, I don't wanna run
A love that's true has washed away my fears
A love I really hope will last for years

Sali Bloo, I love you
Sali Bloo (you know I need you), I love you

When we kissed for the first time, Sali Bloo, then I knew
That first kiss was not the last one, Sali Bloo, I love you

Guess I've been in love before
This time's different, that's for sure
Wedding bells are ringing in my ears
Eyes are clear which once were red* with tears
Now I know the time has come
This time, I don't wanna run
A love that's true has washed away my fears
A love I really hope will last for years

Sali Bloo, I love you
Sali Bloo (you know I need you)
I love you (you know I love you)
Sali Bloo, I love you ( I want the moody tune)
Sali Bloo (and that ain't all), I love you (Y'know I want ya, love to wanna love you girl)
Sali Bloo ( I----------), I love you (can't turn it down)
Sali Bloo (They'll be telling you, baby), I love you (they'll be telling you how)
(they'll be telling you hoooooooooowwwww...).
