[English]

Everyone says I’m stupid, how can I succeed in music

Even if I make enough to buy a meal, no worries

And the word ‘romantic,’ how strong it sounds

Tired, I drag you into the game, two of us struggling together

You know this Christmas there’s no big feast

Just call air our gift, no problem at all

If the lights are boring and there’s no booze

Then buy some siu mai as a turkey

Bank savings are zero, how can a poor guy fall in love

Plain cold rice, but I give three stars

How did foolishness happen? How did a fool become a wife?

Two packs of dried grapes, poor but super warm and cozy

If that's all we have

Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah

If that's all we have

A bad partner, dating is just boring

Lucky I am—this time I met a real master

Last month, no need to go online

Boringly staring at each other, turned out to be more entertaining than YouTube

Why are you in such a rush? Take me to Japan

Enough green tea in Causeway Bay for fifty bowls

No worries, check the dishes first before eating

You taught me how to be happy, so simple

Bank savings are zero, how can a poor guy fall in love

Plain cold rice, but I give three stars

How did foolishness happen? How did a fool become a wife?

Two packs of dried grapes, poor but super warm and cozy

If that's all we have

Whoo-whoo, we have

Not great but enough to kill

If that's all we have

No need to take the bus

No need to go out for meals

No need to dress up

Just hold on tight

No need to be fancy

No need to pay with black card

Lying on the bed all day

Still feeling high

If that's all we have

If that's all we have

If that's all we have

If that's all we

...

[Chinese]

人人話我笨 作歌點發達

就算搵夠 買盒飯 唔慌多

而浪漫 個名幾咁勁

累我拖你入局 兩份去捱窮

你知今年聖誕冇大餐

就話空氣當禮物冇問題

如果燈飾數悶又冇酒

就買兩粒燒賣當火雞

銀行存款等如零 窮鬼點談情

寒酸炒冷飯 我會畀三粒星

傻佬點形成 傻婆點形成

提子乾兩份搣 窮但超溫馨

If that's all we have

Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah

If that's all we have

壞對象 拍拖先會悶

勁好彩 今次 係遇上真正 高手

上個月 唔使點上網

無聊一個互望 原來好睇過 YouTube

你使乜心急 帶我去日本

銅鑼灣夠有 五十隻綠茶

唔擔心要 睇餸先食飯

係你教識 開心咁簡單

銀行存款等如零 窮鬼點談情

寒酸炒冷飯 我會畀三粒星

傻佬點形成 傻婆點形成

提子乾兩份搣 窮但超溫馨

If that's all we have

Whoo-whoo, we have

唔好但夠殺

If that's all we have

唔使點搭車

唔使出街食

唔使點著衫

淨係抱得好緊

唔使懶高級

唔使碌黑卡

床鋪碌一日

同樣覺得 high

If that's all we have

If that's all we have

If that's all we have

If that's all we
