Hey guys

I'm in Chicago visiting right now and it's intensely cold. The snow here is great though, it's white everywhere. I wish everyone could share this beautiful experience with me. Anyways, be careful of the cold, stay healthy, and have the greatest day!

From your one and only,
Johnny Suh

-- I really had fun coming up with lyrics for this song.  I know that it sounds really cheesy sometimes, but, hey, it's a cheesy song! :D  If you really think about it, "yoo-hoo", which is used (very scarcely now) to get someone's attention - along the lines of "Hey!"- in a feminine way, doesn't really make sense with English lyrics.  But you know what else sounds like "yoo-hoo" that makes sense?  "You!"  Just make the "u" at the end two syllables and it sounds exactly the same!
I also changed some of the Konglish lines so it would make more sense!  Enjoy!

Just a Few Words:

I heard this all the time when I was in Korea!  I didn't really like SECRET's other songs like "Madonna", "Magic", and "Poison", but this song is really catchy!  The video is adorable and SECRET is really good with the aegyo.  This was also what set off my new-found fiery passion for peppy, aegyo-packed songs.  Hey, it's K-Pop and this is what K-Pop does best.

English Rating:  7 / 10
"I just want to be your love" is a tad awkward, but it's still okay.  But "Do you hear me that I'm falling in love" is missing some punctuation.  There needs to be a question mark after "me", removed the "that" and add in a couple of space or they need to get rid of the "me".
The pronunciation is good, but still with a hint of an accent.
