Ai-ya-yai

Ai-ya-yai, oi-lyu-lyu
What’s happening to me, I don’t understand
Oh, Mom, I can’t take it
I’m running to him, I’m running

He walks into the room as if he’s the boss here
So cold, sharp, and amusing
A leather jacket, the smell of tobacco
But I see what’s hidden from the expert
A silent question frozen in his pupils
As if he carried it through the storms
Despair glimmers like a sharp knife
And a shiver runs down my spine

And he’s so brutal, despair dances in his eyes
Oh, Mom, I can’t take it, I’m running to him, I’m running
Behind the brutality, a soul is hidden
And I’m walking to him, barely breathing
Ai-ya-yai, oi-lyu-lyu
What’s happening to me, I don’t understand

Plans, schedules, and meetings are forgotten
I’m waiting for him to wrap his arms around my shoulders
His sternness is just a shield
But my radar will pierce right through and win
They may say it’s a risk zone
I’m getting dangerously close to him
I want to warm that coldness deep inside
Let him trust only me tonight

Ai-ya-yai, oi-lyu-lyu
What’s happening to me, I don’t understand
And he’s so brutal, despair dances in his eyes
Oh, Mom, I can’t take it, I’m running to him, I’m running
Behind the brutality, a soul is hidden
And I’m walking to him, barely breathing

Ai-ya-yai, oi-lyu-lyu
What’s happening to me, I don’t understand
And he’s so brutal
Despair dances in his eyes
Oh, Mom, I can’t take it
I’m running to him, I’m running

Ai-ya-yai, oi-lyu-lyu
What’s happening to me, I don’t understand
