[English]

Heart beats, but I don't feel

I touch, but it ain't real

They say I move too fast

Going man to man

Always holding a new hand

Why can't they understand

Sex is irrelevant

Just a game in my head, I'm playing and I'm winning

Oh, I broke another heart today

Oh, and I didn't care until I walked away

'Cause they think I love 'em

But I love 'em all, love 'em all ye-yeah

I need another one to get over the other one

Another one, ye-yeah

'Cause they think I love 'em

But I love 'em all, love 'em all ye-yeah

I need another one to get over the other one

Another one, ye-yeah

They all wait for my call

They all want me to fall

All these men, they're a mess

Want me like the rest

I'm continuing not giving my best

Why can't they understand

Sex is irrelevant

Just a game in my head, I'm playing and I'm winning

Oh, I broke another heart today

Oh, and I didn't care until I walked away

'Cause they think I love 'em

But I love 'em all, love 'em all ye-yeah

I need another one to get over the other one

Another one, ye-yeah

'Cause they think I love 'em

But I love 'em all, love 'em all ye-yeah

I need another one to get over the other one

Another one, ye-yeah

Maybe one day I'll settle down

But for now

I'll just play around

And I'll make up the rules

That's how I get 'em

Making all these best shows

They can't forget it

So I won't hurt

I keep alive to them

And I love 'em all

'Cause they think I love 'em

But I love 'em all, love 'em all ye-yeah

I need another one to get over the other one

Another one, ye-yeah

'Cause they think I love 'em

But I love 'em all, love 'em all ye-yeah

I need another one to get over the other one

Another one, ye-yeah
