[English]

When it's late at night

Do you recall that night?

'Cause I think about it sometimes

I'm just lying

It's all the time, babe

I found out the way to your heart

Then found myself completely lost

Whatever, it doesn't matter, we fine

I don't need to label how we good time

And we don't need to tell nobody, we ride

'Cause fuck it, we're young, it's just fun

It started off just a touch, innocent like friends, like friends

Yeah, wake up here tied, horizontal

We just friends, just friends

Maybe one drink, nothing too far gone (too far)

Is it the stars saying, "Fall in love"? No

We don't say much as we lay here

We just friends, just friends

When you say my name

So casual touch, my hand

I stop and play it cool

Like I'm not into you

But I'm just lying

You drive me wild and say

I found out the way to your heart

Then found myself completely lost

Whatever, it doesn't matter, we fine

I don't need to label how we good time

And we don't need to tell nobody, we ride

'Cause fuck it, we're young, it's just fun

It started off just a touch, innocent like friends, like friends

Yeah, wake up here tied, horizontal

We just friends, just friends

Maybe one drink, nothing too far gone (too far)

Is it the stars saying, "Fall in love"? No

We don't say much as we lay here

We just friends, just friends

I found out the way to your heart

Then found myself completely lost

Whatever, it doesn't matter, we fine

I don't need to label how we good time

And we don't need to tell nobody, we ride

'Cause fuck it, we're young, it's just fun

It started off just a touch, innocent like friends, like friends

Yeah, wake up here tied, horizontal

We just friends, just friends

Maybe one drink, nothing too far gone (too far)

Is it the stars saying, "Fall in love"? No

We don't say much as we lay here

We just friends, just friends
