*Let ring

I've nothing much to offer, there's nothing much to take

I'm an absolute beginner, but I'm absolutely sane

As long as we're together, the rest may go to hell

I absolutely love you, but we're absolute beginners

With eyes completely open, but nervous all the same

If our love song could fly over mountain

Could laugh at the ocean, just like the films

There's no reason to feel all the hard times

To lay down the hard lines, it's absolutely true

MAIN LICK x2

Nothing much could happen, nothing we can't shake

Though we're absolute beginners, with nothing much at stake

As long as you're still smiling, there's nothing more I need

I absolutely love you, but we're absolute beginners

But if my love is your love, we're certain to succeed

If our love song could fly over mountains

Could sail over heartaches, just like the films

If there's reasons to feel all the hard times

To lay down the hard lines, it's absolutely true
