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 have put 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 troubles are over now
Fix your eyes on the star in my eyes
A beautiful night...

To love you I have put 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...
