Blue Jeans – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Blue jeans
White shirt
Walked into the room
You know you made my eyes burn
It was like James Dean
For sure
You're so fresh to death and sick as c-cancer
You were sorta Punk Rock
I grew up on Hip Hop
But you fit me better
Than my favorite sweater and I know
That love is mean (uh oh)
And love hurts (uh oh)
But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby
I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby, can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember (oh baby)
Say you'll remember, oh baby, ooh
I will love you 'til the end of time
...
Big dreams
Gangster
Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like, "No please, stay here"
We don't need no money
We can make it all work
But he headed out on Sunday
Said he'd come home Monday
I stayed up waitin', anticipatin' and pacin'
But he was
Chasin' (uh oh)
Paper (uh oh)
Caught up in the game
It was the last I heard
I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby, can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember (oh baby)
Say you'll remember, oh baby, ooh
I will love you 'til the end of time
...
You went out every night
And, baby, that's alright
I told you that no matter what you did
I'd be by your side
'Cause I'ma ride or die
Whether you fail or fly
Well, shit, at least you tried
But when you walked out that door
A piece of me died
Told you I wanted more
That's not what I had in mind
I just want it like before
We were dancin' all night
Then they took you away
Stole you out of my life
You just need to remember
...
I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby, can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember (oh baby)
Say you'll remember, oh baby, ooh
I will love you 'til the end of time
...
