[English]

My reputation says that I fall too fast

They try to twist it, try to make it sound bad

But I don't care, no, I don't care

I've broke some hearts and had my heart broken too

And that's the risk I took when I fell for you

But I don't care, no, I don't care

This is just the way I am

Sorry I call again when you don't pick up

And tell you you're beautiful but probably too much

I tried, but I can't treat ya like the rest of L.A.

Oh, it's just not in my DNA

To love you only halfway

...

I wanna hold your hand in front of my friends

Say what I'm feelin' and not have to pretend

That I don't care, no, I don't care

I wanna brag about you when you're not around

Hear you name next to mine 'cause I like the way it sounds

I'm sorry I call again when you don't pick up

And tell you you're beautiful but probably too much (too much)

I tried, but I can't treat ya like the rest of L.A.

Oh, it's just not in my DNA

To love you only halfway

Love you only halfway

Love you only halfway

Love you only halfway

...

This is just way I am

I'm sorry I call again when you don't pick up

And tell you you're beautiful but probably too much

I tried, but I can't treat ya like the rest of L.A.

Oh, it's just not in my DNA

To love you only halfway

Love you only halfway

Love you only halfway

Love you only halfway

...
