Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language can be a beautiful journey, and what better way to start than with a song that plays with the complexities of love like LANY's "ILYSB." The song's simple, repetitive lyrics make it easy to follow along and pick up common English phrases related to love and affection. What makes "ILYSB" special is its dual nature: a sweet declaration of love in its lyrics, but a dark tale of obsession in its music video, offering a rich ground for discussion and deeper understanding of storytelling in music.

[English]

Ain't never felt this way

Can't get enough so stay with me

It's not like we got big plans

Let's drive around town holding hands

And you need to know

You're the only one, alright, alright

And you need to know

That you keep me up all night, all night

Oh, my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad, oh

Oh, my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad

Mad cool in all my clothes

Mad warm when you get close to me

Slow dance these summer nights

Our disco ball's my kitchen light

Yeah and you need to know

That nobody could take your place, your place

And you need to know

That I'm hella obsessed with your face, your face

Oh, my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad, oh

Oh, my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad, oh

Oh, my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad, oh

...

And you need to know

You're the only one, alright, alright

And you need to know

That you keep me up all night, all night

Oh, my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad, oh

Oh, my heart hurts so good

I love you, babe, so bad, so bad, oh

...

So bad, oh

Oh, my heart hurt

Oh, my heart hurt

Oh, my heart hurt

So bad, oh

...
