[English]

Hats and sunglasses, even if I hide them, I can't hide it all

I'm so scared of myself, this isn't like me at all

I just want to know how you feel about me

With a conflicted heart, I get close and then move away

Back turned, I say I love you

You can probably hear it, right?

With a conflicted heart, I get close and then move away

My heart sways more than I expected

I need your attention

Baby, come and kiss my lips

Don't pretend you don't notice any more, please don't go, oh

If you're not feeling it, just say so, baby

I hate it when you tease me, oh

Come and kiss my lips

Come and kiss my lips

Come and kiss my lips

Come and kiss my lips

If you let me get close to you

Be honest, honestly

You know it deep down (My heart, your lips)

If you miss your chance to me, surely

You’ll regret it, take care of yourself

With a conflicted heart, I get close and then move away

The distance that grows apart is so precious

You know it, right?

With a conflicted heart, I get close and then move away

Ah, I start to want to have everything

Baby, come and kiss my lips

Don't pretend you don't notice any more, please don't go, oh

If you're not feeling it, just say so, baby

I’ll be unable to hold back now, oh

Come and kiss my lips

Come and kiss my lips

Come and kiss my lips

Come and kiss my lips

If you let me get close to you

[Japanese]

ハットにサングラス 隠しても隠しきれない

自分でもこわいくらい こんなのワタシじゃない

I JUST WANNA KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT ME

ウラハラなココロで近づいて離れて

背中越しの I love you

聴こえてるでしょう

ウラハラなココロで近づいて離れて

想像以上揺れるココロ

I NEED YOUR ATTENTION

BABY COME AND KISS MY LIPS

これ以上気付かないふりして行かないで Oh

その気がないならそう言って Baby

嫌いよ からかわれるのは Oh

COME AND KISS MY LIPS

COME AND KISS MY LIPS

COME AND KISS MY LIPS

COME AND KISS MY LIPS

IF YOU LET ME GET CLOSE TO YOU

素直になって本当は

気付いてるくせして (MY HEART YOUR LIPS)

もしワタシを逃したらきっと

後悔するから お大事に

ウラハラなココロで近づいて離れて

遠ざかる距離だけ愛しい

知ってるんでしょう

ウラハラなココロで近づいて離れて

Ah すべてを手に入れたくなるの

BABY COME AND KISS MY LIPS

これ以上気付かないふりして行かないで Oh

その気がないならそう言って Baby

このまま引けなくなるわ Oh

COME AND KISS MY LIPS

COME AND KISS MY LIPS

COME AND KISS MY LIPS

COME AND KISS MY LIPS

IF YOU LET ME GET CLOSE TO YOU
