brown waves, without part,
pools of chocolate,with a black heart.
Sweet as an apple,cherry red,
the voice of an angel rings in my head.
Cover my binder with purples and blues,
whose smile to see, I would give the world to.
A song of sweet melody, a bouncing beat too,
a song I can dance to, but only with you.
Someone I picked, when they needed somebody to love.
There was no eenie meenie, just one less lonely girl,
in pag-ibig with a boy, who told her one time.
When u smile, light fills the room,
and I know that I'm your paborito girl.
puso of gold, lungs of steel,
work hard, dont give up, be real.
You are the one and only,
Justin Bieber.
