[English]

I got a lot to say to you

Yeah, I got a lot to say

I noticed your eyes are always glued to me

Keeping them here and it makes no sense at all

They taped over your mouth

Scribbled out the truth with their lies

Your little spies

They taped over your mouth

Scribbled out the truth with their lies

Your little spies

...

Crush, crush, crush

Crush, crush (two, three, four)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone

Just the one, two, I was just counting on

That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again

Let's be more than this

...

...

If you wanna play it like a game

Well, come on, come on, let's play

'Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending

Than have to forget you for one whole minute

They taped over your mouth

Scribbled out the truth with their lies

Your little spies

They taped over your mouth

Scribbled out the truth with their lies

Your little spies

Crush, crush, crush

Crush, crush (two, three, four)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone

Just the one, two, I was just counting on

That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again

Let's be more than this now

...

Rock and roll, baby

Don't you know that we're all alone now?

I need something to sing about

Rock and roll, hey

Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?

I need something to sing about

Rock and roll, hey

Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?

Give me something to sing about

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone

Just the one, two, I was just counting on

That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again

Let's be more than, no

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone

Just the one, two, I was just counting on

That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again

Let's be more than

More than this

Oh-ho, oh-oh, oh-oh

Ooh, ooh
