[English]

Play the spearmint, drink it

A sexy-scented cassis sunset

Hey! What's up!? Just a fleeting moment

The trigger of love, that's enough

Wet skin, being seduced

Falling into a daydream

This is dangerous, I can't stop

Don’t let me fall in love

Crazy, crazy, everyone

Impulsive urges, what should I do?

So crazy, crazy, everyone

Take everything off

No way back

Now begins the sweet fantasy of the cocktail shower

No way back

Let's dance the night away, just the two of us, a seductive rendezvous

It’s time to party hard Can we go? We will go

Are you okay? Shall we kiss?

It’s time to party hard Can we go? We will go

Shall we keep a secret?

Maybe because of the opened bottle

The meter still running wild

From here on, it's simple and clear

I'll teach you the right answer with my lips

No need for guesswork

A secret signal exchanged between our eyes

Fingers intertwined, a 'yes' sign

Can you keep a secret?

Your intense gaze is irresistible

Caught off guard by your sudden smile, knocked down

So, what’s up? Maintaining a cool face somehow

Keep it up, stay gentle

Loosen your hair, it's tempting

Falling into a daydream

This is dangerous, I can't stop

Don’t let you go tonight

Crazy, crazy, everyone

Tonight, I want to hold you gently

So crazy, crazy, everyone

Because I will cross over

No way back

Now begins the sweet fantasy of the cocktail shower

No way back

Let’s dance all night, just us two, a captivating rendezvous

Time to party hard Can we go? We definitely will

Are you okay? Shall we kiss?

Time to party hard Can we go? We will go

Shall we keep a secret?

A seesaw swaying zigzag and returning

Zip, Zap — ignoring the ringing tone

Unaware, falling deeper into the body blow of that smile

Even if it's a dream, make it a never-waking kiss

No way back

Now starts the greatest love, unending ecstasy

No way back

Let's dance the night away, just the two of us, as we are, let's dive in

[Japanese]

スペアミント弾いて drink it

Sexyに薫るカシスのsunset

Hey! What's up!? わずかほんの一瞬

恋の引き金 それで充分

濡れた肌 誘われ

堕ちるdaydream

ヤバイ 止められない

Don't let me fall in love

Crazy crazy so everybody

無性な衝動 どうすればいい？

So crazy crazy so everybody

ゼンブ剥ぎ取って

No way back

今 始まる カクテルシャワーの甘いfantasy

No way back

踊り明かそう キミと二人 魅惑のランデブー

It’s time to party it up Can we go? and we will go

Are you ok? shall we kiss?

It’s time to party it up Can we go? and we will go

Shall we keep a secret?

空けたボトルのせいか

振り切ったままのメーター

この先は単純明快

唇で教える正解

探り合いは必要無い

目と目で交わす秘密の合図

指先絡めYesのサイン

Can you keep a secret?

視線ジャックでたまらないね

不意の笑顔に撃たれ knock down

So what's up? 何とかcool face

キープしてジェントルを継続

ほどく髪 誘われ

堕ちるdaydream

ヤバイ 止められない

Don't let you go tonight

Crazy crazy so everybody

今夜そっと抱きしめたい

So crazy crazy so everybody

踏み越えるから

No way back

今 始まる カクテルシャワーの甘いfantasy

No way back

踊り明かそう キミと二人 魅惑のランデブー

It’s time to party it up Can we go? and we will go

Are you ok? shall we kiss?

It’s time to party it up Can we go? and we will go

Shall we keep a secret?

ジグザグ揺れては戻るシーソー

Zip, Zap 聞こえない振りのRing Tone

気付かずハマるその笑顔のボディブロー

例え夢だとしても二度と醒めないキスを

No way back

今 始まる 最高の恋 終わらないecstasy

No way back

踊り明かそう キミと二人 あるがまま let's dive
