[English]

Are you happy right now

No

Do you like that

No

Then it's not what you like

No

Then what do you want, no matter what

I want a lot, but it doesn't go as I wish

I'm doing what I wanted, but it doesn't go as I wish

I have a lot on my mind, but it doesn't go as I think

It doesn't go as I say, as I want, as I think

Blurry lines yeah yeah yeah

So many so many any anything no no

Blurry lines yeah yeah yeah

So many so many any anything no no

This isn't it, and that isn't it

What do you want baby

What do you want

There are many things, but they're all not great

There are many things, but they're all not good

I end up kicking them all away

Should I go to another star, that star

There are many things, but they're all not great

There are many things, but they're all not good

I end up kicking them all away

Everything is no no no ow

Ask everything (maybe)

I’m gonna say no

I want a lot, but I know

My taste is quite picky

No, I mean that's not it

It's like sweet potato, I got cider

Even if I look at a few options

There's nothing that I particularly like

Blah blah blah, I want a lot

First class, higher than that

No no, but is this also not it

No no no no I don’t know

Blurry lines yeah yeah yeah

So many so many any anything no no

Blurry lines yeah yeah yeah

So many so many any anything no no

This isn't it, and that isn't it

What do you want baby

What do you want

There are many things, but they're all not great

There are many things, but they're all not good

I end up kicking them all away

Should I go to another star, that star

There are many things, but they're all not great

There are many things, but they're all not good

I end up kicking them all away

Everything is no no no ow

You keep bothering me with the same words

Don't even say a word

Even if I choose, it's all ambiguous

You don't even know what you want

No no, it's not that I hate everything

Rather, I have a lot that I want

It's strange, something doesn't attract me

Everything you say is not great

There are many things, but they're all not great

There are many things, but they're all not good

I end up kicking them all away

Should I go to another star, that star

There are many things, but they're all not great

There are many things, but they're all not good

I end up kicking them all away

Everything is no no no ow
