[English]

Drive down the coast of California

Let the sunlight kiss your skin

I hear the ocean air's good for ya

So promise me you'll breathe it in

Don't look back and don't be sad

About a boy

(Yeah)

Follow the lights into the city

Dance your way through every crowd

Finding someone who calls you pretty

And looks at you like there's no one else around

When he makes you laugh, you won't be sad

About a boy

There's a man out there who'll show you he cares

Ain't afraid to admit when he's wrong

He'll do everything I should've done

What I wish I would've done

What you deserved all along

Someone you can believe in

Would never give you a reason to be sad about a boy, no

Real man knows how to say he's sorry, mmm

I'm still learning everyday

I wasn't half the man you needed

Oh, and you don't need me to say

You shouldn't hurt

No it ain't worth, being sad about a boy

There's a man out there who'll show you he cares

Ain't afraid to admit when he's wrong

Oh, he'll do everything I should've done

What I wish I would've done

What you deserved all along

Someone you can believe in

Would never give you a reason to be sad about a boy, no

Don't be sad

Na-na na,na, na don't be sad

Na-na, na don't

I pray somebody keeps you smiling

Steals your heart and not your joy

You'll never have another night when

You're ever sad about a boy, no

Na-na, na, na, na don't be sad about a

Na-na, na, na, don't be sad

Na-na, na, na, na don't be sad

Na-na don't be sad about a boy

Na, na, na

Na-na don't be sad

Na-na don't be sad about

Na-na, na, na don't be sad about a

Na-na, na-na, na don't be sad about a boy
