Chorus:

This can't be love, because I feel so well,
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs.
This can't be love, I get no dizzy spells,
My head is not in the skies.
My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat!
This is too sweet to be love.
This can't be love, because I feel so well,
But still I love to look in your eyes.
