[English]

Hello, today I sit again by the bus window at the same old spot

Greeting you, the one sitting there with high hopes

Hi

As expected, you don't respond to me

You're popular and handsome, but only with me

You act so cold toward me

But remember last night?

You said you like me

Under that pretty streetlamp

You told me you like me

Next time, pretend you don't know, act like you don't care

You Have To Know That

You need to be sure

That day, you said you liked me

Yeah

If You Like Me Or Love Me

Just Say Yes Yes Yes

And Then I'm Your Girlfriend

And You're My Boyfriend

Come on, just tell me you like me

Secretly again today, I sit at the front of the library

Greeting you, the one sitting there with high hopes

Oh Boy~

As expected, you don't respond to me

You're popular and handsome, but only with me

You act so cold toward me

But remember last night?

You said you like me

Under that pretty streetlamp

You told me you like me

Next time, pretend you don't know

Act like you don't care

You Have To Know That

You need to be sure

That day, you said you liked me

Yeah

If You Like Me Or Love Me

Just Say Yes Yes Yes

And Then I'm Your Girlfriend

And You're My Boyfriend

Come on, just tell me you like me

Oh~

I really like you a lot

Are we impossible to be together?

My long school uniform skirt

Makes me shy and small, yeah

Always around you are tall, pretty girls

Overflowing with beauty

Woo~

If You Like Me

If You Love Me

Yeah~

And Then I'm Your Girlfriend

And You're My Boyfriend

Come on, just tell me you like me

If You Like Me Or Love Me

Just Say Yes Yes Yes

And Then I'm Your Girlfriend

And You're My Boyfriend

Come on, just tell me you like me
