Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's not important for you to know my name
Nor I to know yours
If we communicate for two minutes only
It will be enough
For knowing that someone in this world
Feels as desperate as me
And what you give is what you get
[Verse 2]
It doesn't matter if we never meet again
What we have said will always remain
If we get through for two minutes only
It will be a start
For knowing that someone in this life
Loves with a passion called hate
And what you give is what you get
[Verse 3]
If I never ever see you
If I never ever see you
If I never ever see you (You again)
[Verse 4]
If I never ever see you (See you, see you)
If I never ever see you (See you, see you)
If I never ever see you again
[Verse 5]
And what you give is what you get
And what you give is what you get
And what you give is what you get
And what you give is what you get
And what you give is what you get
And what you give is what you get
