Lyrics

From the day the world began
I've been troubled about that seriously
I can't put my room in order...!!
Someone said "Your fault is to put anything off!"

But I've done some more research
Finally I found the answer! I like that
In fact, so simple, that is my new philosophy!!

To love you I haveput anything off
That's to say, It's all I can do to love you everyone!
It's no wonder that I can't put
My room in order, isn't it? Love Forever...

You wanna be so happy?
Our troublesare over now
Fix your eyes on the star in my eyes
A beautiful night...

To love you I haveput anything off
That's to say, It's all I can do to love you everyone!
It's no wonder that I can't put
My room in order, Love Forever...
