[English]

I'm sorry for loving myself

What's wrong with that? Is it jealousy?

They say it's painful or that I'm strange

That reply doesn't reach me

In my favorite clothes and makeup

With my usual half-twin hairstyle

Let's go out, holding an umbrella, even if I'm alone

I'm happy, you know!

Kiss! I'm sorry for being cute

I'm sorry for being born

Kiss! I'm sorry for being so calculated

You can't help but be curious, right? I'm sorry

Kiss! I'm sorry for being cute

I'm sorry for putting in the effort

Kiss! I'm sorry for being precious

I'm sorry for having high feminine charm

It must annoy you, right? Tough luck

...

Please just care about yourself

Don't interfere with me

They say birds of a feather flock together

That gossip doesn't reach me

In my favorite chunky boots and backpack

I can't mess up my bangs, so I comb them

Let's go out, a light girl? Don't joke around

It's too much!

Kiss! I'm sorry for being cute

I'm sorry for living in this era

Kiss! I'm sorry for standing out

You can't help but notice, right? I'm sorry

Kiss! I'm sorry for being cute

I'm sorry for self-improvement

Kiss! I'm sorry for being a bit of a show-off

I'm sorry for captivating you

It must annoy you, right? Tough luck

Different hobbies, being an oddball

Even if I'm ridiculed

I don't want to bend, I'm not scared

People like you

I want to be my own ally

I want to cherish the most important person

I don't want to make you endure unreasonable things

"That's just me"

...

Kiss! I'm sorry for being cute

I'm sorry for being born

Kiss! I'm sorry for being so calculated

I'm sorry for enjoying life

Kiss! I'm sorry for being cute

I'm sorry for putting in the effort

Kiss! I'm sorry for being precious

I'm sorry for having high feminine charm

It must annoy you, right? Tough luck

...

[Japanese]

私が私の事を愛して

何が悪いの？ 嫉妬でしょうか？

痛いだとか変わってるとか

届きませんね そのリプライ

大好きなお洋服 大好きなお化粧で

お決まりのハーフツイン巻いて

お出かけしよ 日傘持って ぼっちだって

幸せだもん！

チュ！ 可愛くてごめん

生まれてきちゃってごめん

チュ！ あざとくてごめん

気になっちゃうよね？ ごめん

チュ！ 可愛くてごめん

努力しちゃっててごめん

チュ！ 尊くてごめん

女子力高くてごめん

ムカついちゃうよね？ ざまあ

貴女は貴女の事だけどうぞ

私に干渉しないでください

類は友を呼ぶと言うけど

届きませんね その陰口

重い厚底ブーツ お気に入りのリュックで

崩せない前髪くしでといて

お出かけしよ 軽い女？ ふざけんな

重すぎるっつーの！

チュ！ 可愛くてごめん

この時代生きてごめん

チュ！ 目立っててごめん

意識しちゃうよね？ ごめん

チュ！ 可愛くてごめん

自分磨きしてごめん

チュ！ ぶりっ子でごめん

虜にしちゃってごめん

ムカついちゃうでしょ？ ざまあ

趣味の違い 変わり者と

バカにされても

曲げたくない 怖くもない

あんたらごとき

自分の味方は自分でありたい

一番大切にしてあげたい

理不尽な我慢はさせたくない

「それが私」

チュ！ 可愛くてごめん

生まれてきちゃってごめん

チュ！ あざとくてごめん

人生楽しんでごめん

チュ！ 可愛くてごめん

努力しちゃっててごめん

チュ！ 尊くてごめん

女子力高くてごめん

ムカついちゃうよね？ ざまあ
