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
