Beware

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

なんでかな？ あなたが近づくと

Why is it? When you get closer

何をしていたって気配を感じるの

I can feel your presence no matter what I'm doing

そう ハートのアンテナがピピピって

Yeah, my heart's antenna is sensing it, beep beep

空気のその変化キャッチするみたい

Catching the subtle changes in the atmosphere

自分でも気づかない 無意識な恋の予感

It's an unconscious feeling of love I don't even notice myself

後でビックリしないように

So I don't get surprised later

ちゃんとアラート鳴らしてくれるよ

I'll make sure to alert you properly

後ろからゆっくりと接近中

You're slowly approaching from behind

Be-be-beware

Beware, beware

気をつけて 隙を見せちゃ負け

Be careful, don't let your guard down or you'll lose

Oh-oh-oh 無視しよう

Oh-oh-oh, ignore it

話しかけて来るまでは絶対振り向かない

Until they speak to you, never turn your head

Three! Two! One! 用心して! 興味なんてないフリ

Three! Two! One! Be careful! Pretend you're not interested

Oh-oh-oh 焦る

Oh-oh-oh, feeling anxious

そう 視線の中に入ってない出会い

Yeah, a meeting where our eyes haven't met

ちゃんと驚きましょう

Let's be properly surprised

気に入ってるのは左顔 uh

My favorite side is the left cheek, uh

だからこっち 左の方から turn around, uh

So, from this side, turn around from the left, uh

You feelin' it now? 目と目が合ったら hey

You feeling it now? When our eyes meet, hey

これ以上本気になっちゃうと

If I get any more serious than this

芽生えた感情がもう止められない

The feelings blooming inside just won't stop

きっとあなたは独占したくなって

Surely, you want to possess me all to yourself

24時間中そばにいたくなる

Want to be by my side 24/7

いけない癖だって自分でも分かってるけど

I know it's a bad habit, even I notice it

何度同じ失敗しても

No matter how many times I fail again and again

愛のロープで縛ろうとしちゃう

I try to tie myself with love's rope

好きな人作らない 決めてたのに

I had decided not to fall for anyone

Be-be-beware

Beware, beware

一目見てタイプだと分かった

I knew at first sight that you were my type

Oh-oh-oh 危ない

Oh-oh-oh, it's dangerous

恋人になれないならどこか行ってちょうだい

If we can't become lovers, just go away somewhere

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

戒めて ブレーキかけなきゃ

Stop myself, need to hit the brakes

Oh-oh-oh ダメね

Oh-oh-oh, this is no good

Ah 夢中になってしまいそうなの 止めて

Ah, stop it, I might get obsessed

距離を置きましょう

Let's keep our distance

...

...

やっぱりビンゴでしょ?

Isn't it obvious now?

好きになっていく

I'm falling for you

後ろから接近中

They're approaching from behind

Be-be-beware

Beware, beware

気をつけて 隙を見せちゃ負け

Be careful, don't let your guard down or you'll lose

Oh-oh-oh 無視しよう

Oh-oh-oh, ignore it

話しかけて来るまでは絶対振り向かない

Until they speak to you, never turn your head

Three! Two! One! 用心して! 興味なんてないフリ

Three! Two! One! Be careful! Pretend you're not interested

Oh-oh-oh 焦る

Oh-oh-oh, feeling anxious

そう 視線の中に入ってない出会い

Yeah, a meeting where our eyes haven't met

ちゃんと驚きましょう

Let's be properly surprised

気をつけて (Be-be-beware)

Be careful (Beware)

いつだって mistake, mistake

Always a mistake, mistake

(Be-be-beware) I know

(Beware) I know

...
