[English]

Everyone envies, a perfect special lady

Surely happier than anyone else

There's no one like you anywhere in the world

You are everything just for me

Maybe because you were too kind (or too young)

Your attitude speaks for everything

And I think I'm gonna hate it, girl

It surely won't last long

I know, but I can't face it

No matter what I do (my heart)

It's already (out of reach)

Replay, replay, replay

Yes, memories keep (my heart)

More (and hurt me)

Replay, replay, replay (whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah)

Yes, you're my MVP, every day is fulfilled

Gathering attention (whoa) when I'm with you, I feel so cool

I said I wouldn't let go of this hand, but

Since when? I can't feel the same anymore

Maybe because you were too kind or too young (oh, whoa)

I understood everything from that atmosphere

And I think I'm gonna hate it, girl (I wanna hit replay)

It surely won't last long (oh)

But I'm still searching for you

No matter what I do (my heart) (no matter what I do)

It's already (out of reach)

Make up, shake up, break up (you make me wanna, oh)

Yes, memories keep (my heart) (memories)

More (and hurt me) (I need it)

Make up, shake up, break up (with a little reply)

Ah, ah, ah, you're so beautiful

Ah, ah, ah, even though you're so pretty

You must not know true love yet

Ah, ah, ah, I want to give you

Ah, ah, ah, but my true feelings don't get through

No matter what I do (my heart)

It's already (out of reach)

もう（と 届かないのか）

Replay, replay, replay (I need a replay)

Yes, memories keep (replay) (my heart)

More (baby, I need, girl) (and hurt me)

Replay, replay, replay (whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

No matter what I do (my heart) (my heart) (uh, my only love)

It's already (out of reach) (out of reach)

Replay, replay, replay (whoa, whoa) (I, I, I love you)

Yes, memories keep (little replay) (my heart) (uh, drifting heart)

More (and I wanna replay) (and hurt me) (yeah, I wanna hold you, girl)

Replay, replay, replay (I, I, I love you) (oh, whoa, whoa)

No matter what I do (you and me, girl) (I keep thinking 'bout you) (every time I feel you)

You and me, girl (I keep dreaming 'bout you)

(I don't wanna know) hey, girl

You don't know what love is, I will give it to you

No matter what I do (you and me, girl) (I keep thinking 'bout you) (thinking 'bout you)

You and me, girl (back street) (I keep dreaming 'bout you)

Hey, girl

You don't know what love is, I will give it to you (you drive me crazy)
