[English]
How can I tell you, it hurts me
I won't lie to you despite the scale of the phenomenon
I don't remember ever seeing you chill, no
You make them run away without guessing what bothers them
It stays between us
Living with you is a nightmare
They left you, yeah, they're all jerks, yeah
I'd like to help you, I'd like to believe you
But I know you by heart
Inside and out, through and through, little sister
I know you by heart, I know you by heart, yeah
Little sister
...
Even Cupid gave up
You have a gift for pushing them to adultery, yeah
No no, something's not right, your loves have an air
Of incarceration, when you put your mind to it, to be clear
Ah, it stays between us
Putting up with you is a victory
They left you, here, take a tissue, yeah
I'd like to help you, I'd like to believe you
But I know you by heart
Inside and out, through and through, little sister
I know you by heart, I know you by heart, oh yeah
I know you by heart, I know you by heart
Inside and out, through and through, little sister
I know you by heart, I know you by heart
Oh, oh-oh-oh, little sister
...
I know you by heart
...
Little sister
I know you by heart
Little sister
...
Ah, I know you by heart
Ah, I know you by heart
Ah, I know you by heart
I know you by heart
...
