[English]

You know I love you, but your love is so terrifying

Timing really is a bitch

Who'd have thought the stars would so perfectly align again

Double change and for a switch?

And I don't wanna leave

But if I have to make my way

You are everything

But I don't think I can stay

All alone on a Saturday night in a city screaming loud outside

And you know what I wanna do (ooh-oh)

I know you're wrong for me

But I don't care, 'cause I just wanna do

Bad things to you tonight (ooh-oh)

Tonight (ooh-ooh, ooh-oh)

You and I are like a crazy stupid raging fire

On the line and set to flames

You call me crazy, baby, but you're just a goddamn liar

But I swear it feels so safe

And I don't want to leave

But if I have to make my way

You are everything

But I don't think I can stay

All alone on a Saturday night in a city screaming loud outside

And you know what I wanna do (ooh-oh)

I know you're wrong for me

But I don't care, 'cause I just wanna do

Bad things to you tonight (ooh-oh)

Tonight (oh-ooh)

I scream I hate you, you scream you hate me

But I love, but I love you, oh-oh

And like we're 17 again, we know this love will never end

But I can't go on

All alone on a Saturday night in a city screaming loud outside

And you know what I wanna do (ooh-oh)

I know you're wrong for me

But I don't care, 'cause I just wanna do

Bad things to you tonight

Yeah, ayy, tonight

Oh-oh, oh-oh, tonight

Yeah, damn, it's Saturday night, oh, oh, oh
