[English]
He or she said "the news isn't good"
I'll only tell you, don't tell anyone
He or she said "I think there was a misunderstanding"
I really doubt anyone will forgive him
I hear distant hallway noises echoing
Whether true or false, everyone’s pretending
And if everyone's friend is no one’s friend
Leave me alone here, the vibe's good
No, you have no idea (it's hot)
Why speak out? (it's hot)
The mood’s approved (it's hot)
The path is marked (it's hot)
Let them talk-er-er-er-er
Tomorrow they’ll have forgotten all about it
