Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

Normal love, normal love
Normal love, normal love
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

Spill Chum-Churum
Secrets of the Psalms

Normal love, normal love
I want to pretend
But I cannot pretend
Want me to speak nor to blink
You don't want to feel attractive nor feel pride
I think, in the end, I don't need to feel pride
Normal love, normal love, normal love
Normal love, normal love, normal love
Normal love, normal love, normal love

I think I have shown you
I don't need you to be kind
Just let me pretend
I have something to lose
Something
