[English]

Can you turn down his invitation?

Even though I don't think it's threatening.

I'm sure he's not as considerate as I am.

Stop overthinking—I'm already by your side.

But your eyes can't help lighting up; they're electric.

Not everyone knows how to decide what to keep and what to give up.

If not, next time you go out, take me with you.

Let me draw all your attention.

You're still not answering me—how long do you need to think it over?

I've already waited for several days.

Drifting doesn't matter; don't ask me, I'm just speaking off the top of my head.

This isn't a small matter to you.

Even though I'm so anxious I could go crazy.

Stop dreaming, stop dreaming, stop dreaming.

My ears automatically filter out unrelated talk.

Hands pressed together, waiting for your confirmation.

The luckiest thing I've ever experienced.

It must be you showing up.

In the busy city among the crowds, we suddenly brush past each other.

That look you gave me.

The moment that was meant to be.

My soul has run away from home.

I'm dead set on you taking me in.

But it's right by your side.

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle

Don't tell it.

Bingo bingo bingo bingo

If you're finally ready to give me an answer.

Are you willing to hold my hand?

Follow the music.

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle

Let me hear you.

Bingo bingo bingo bingo

Tell me where you two are going on your date.

I promise I won't stake out.

Just friends hanging out over there.

We could sit together and chat.

Without me, the world would be a bit dangerous.

I can't watch you go off and take risks by yourself.

Let's take a photo together and set it as your lock screen wallpaper.

That way I can keep you safe anywhere, anytime.

Reject, reject, reject, reject.

It's not anyone's debt.

Don't overthink—overthink, overthink, overthink.

Unless you defeat me.

I hope you're not that cute.

Don't forget there's someone still waiting.

Your naivety shouldn't turn into a hindrance.

Just like a heart that can't be replaced.

Without you, I instantly go dumb.

Are you perhaps expecting something from what I'm saying?

Then please hurry and accept my confession.

The luckiest thing I've ever experienced.

It must be you showing up.

In the busy city, among the sea of people, we suddenly brush past each other.

That look you gave me.

The moment that was meant to be.

I want to be with you.

My soul has run away from home.

I'm dead set on you taking me in.

But it's by your side.

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle

Don't tell it.

My soul belongs to you.

Waiting for you to say it's me or nothing.

能不能够拒绝他邀约

虽然我不觉得有威胁

我肯定他没有我体贴

别再纠结我已在身边

可你眼神会不自觉地放电

不是谁都知道怎么做取舍

要不下次出门你把我带在身边

好让我来吸引你全部视线

你还没有回答我你需要考虑多久

我都已经等了好几个1440分钟

漂流无关紧要 别问我 我不过随口说说

这不是小事对你来说

虽然我真得急得快发疯

别再做梦别做梦别做梦

我耳朵自动过滤掉其他无关的话

双手合十等你的肯定回答

我经历过最幸运的事

一定是你的出现

城市忙忙人海忽然与你擦肩

你望向我那一眼

命中注定的瞬间

我的灵魂离家出走

铁了心要你收留

可它在你身边

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle

别对它说

Bingo bingo bingo bingo

如果你终于准备好给我一个回答

究竟你愿不愿牵我的手好吗

跟着音乐走

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle

让我听见

Bingo bingo bingo bingo

说说你们约会的地点

我答应你不会去蹲点

只是朋友搞在那边

可以一起并桌聊个天

没有我的世界有一点危险

我不能看着你自己去冒险

最好让我们合照设为锁屏照片

这样能随时随地为你避险

全部拒绝 拒绝 拒绝 拒绝

绝不是谁的债

别再纠结 纠结 纠结 纠结

除非把我击败

但愿你也别太可爱

忘记有个人还在等待

你天真不该变成了阻碍

就像心脏无法被替代

没你我瞬间变成呆

你是不是有被我说的有一些期待

那请你赶快接受我的告白

我经历过最幸运的事

一定是你的出现

城市忙忙人海恍然与你擦肩

你望向我那一眼

命中注定的瞬间

想和你在一起

我的灵魂离家出走

铁了心要你收留

可它在你身边

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle

别对它说

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle

Bingo bingo bingo bingo

我的灵魂属于你了

等你一句非我不
