[English]

Do it properly, you're such a Bad boy

You only feel curiosity than love

Up till now I've been hoodwinked

By you and have fallen for you

You're no fun, got no manners

You're the Devil devil, you you

All those boys' names in your phone

turns out they're really girls with changed names

An assault on my nose, that nauseating Perfume

Tell me whose is it

You still haven't fixed that nasty habit of sneaking around

No matter how hard you try, you're still in my hand

You better run run run run run

Can't stand you no more, gonna kick you out

You better run run run run run

Beg me to stay but I got no more interest, Hey

One day I'll rise from these ashes

I'll pay you back, so don't forget about it

You better run run run run run

I just caught you, you're fooled

Run devil devil run run

Eyes darting around even when you're with me

Always scanning other girls

When you're alone, you're a Super playboy

Chin up, boy, c'mon say something

You're no fun, got no manners

You're the Devil devil, you you

You better run run run run run

Can't stand you no more, gonna kick you out

You better run run run run run

Beg me to stay but I got no more interest, Hey

One day I'll rise from these ashes

I'll pay you back, so don't forget about it

You better run run run run run

I just caught you, you're fooled

Run devil devil run run

You're no fun, got no manners

Run devil devil run run

Hey, there's no one like me anywhere

Disappointed how you scheme and plot

I'm better than all those girls

Baby boy, what kind of man will you become, growing up like that?

Told you to not play with me

Told you to be good when I had love for you

You better run run run run run

Can't stand you no more, gonna kick you out

You better run run run run run

Beg me to stay but I got no more interest, Hey

One day I'll rise from these ashes

I'll pay you back, so don't forget about it

You better run run run run run

Plenty of fish in the sea

missing one fish, won't matter

A handsome man who'll only look at me

I'm gonna wait for him
