This skyscraper's causing vertigo 00:05

The countdown begins in Tokyo 00:10

27 days alone means 20 million ways to cope 00:16

Without you 00:21

I'm in a reckless fever 00:26

Love-struck girl, I'd tease her 00:29

Thought I'd never be her 00:32

Quite the job you've done on me, sir 00:34

You've been hosting parties in my mind 00:37

I'm working overtime to have you in my world 00:41

Oh, what a curse it is to be a lover girl 00:48

00:53

Forced to get creative, wrote my feelings down 00:57

The independent lady in me is nowhere to be found 01:01

I can't wait another day to see you 01:07

How embarrassing to be this way 01:11

I'm in a reckless fever 01:17

Love-struck girl, I'd tease her 01:21

Thought I'd never be her 01:23

Quite the job you've done on me, sir 01:26

You've been hosting parties in my mind 01:29

I'm working overtime to have you in my world 01:33

Oh, what a curse it is to be in love 01:40

I wait by the phone like a high school movie 01:43

Dream at the shows you'll come running to me 01:48

Think I see you in the wings 01:54

God, I'm hallucinating 01:59

What a reckless fever 02:04

Love-struck girl, I'd tease her 02:07

Thought I'd never be her 02:10

Quite the job you've done on me, sir 02:12

You've been hosting parties in my mind 02:15

I'm working overtime 02:19

You've become my whole world 02:22

Oh, what a curse it is to be a lover girl 02:26

[English]

This skyscraper's causing vertigo
The countdown begins in Tokyo
27 days alone means 20 million ways to cope
Without you
I'm in a reckless fever
Love-struck girl, I'd tease her
Thought I'd never be her
Quite the job you've done on me, sir
You've been hosting parties in my mind
I'm working overtime to have you in my world
Oh, what a curse it is to be a lover girl

Forced to get creative, wrote my feelings down
The independent lady in me is nowhere to be found
I can't wait another day to see you
How embarrassing to be this way
I'm in a reckless fever
Love-struck girl, I'd tease her
Thought I'd never be her
Quite the job you've done on me, sir
You've been hosting parties in my mind
I'm working overtime to have you in my world
Oh, what a curse it is to be in love
I wait by the phone like a high school movie
Dream at the shows you'll come running to me
Think I see you in the wings
God, I'm hallucinating
What a reckless fever
Love-struck girl, I'd tease her
Thought I'd never be her
Quite the job you've done on me, sir
You've been hosting parties in my mind
I'm working overtime
You've become my whole world
Oh, what a curse it is to be a lover girl
