[English]

誰かと同じじゃ物足りないというなら Oh! Baby

誰とも違う特別な恋をしよう

ありきたりな恋人に飽きたというなら Oh! Baby

誰にも言えない秘密の恋をしよう

気丈に振る舞っても　過剰に惹かれ合う

異常な高鳴りで　鼓動が加速する

危険なそのライン　華麗に踏み越えて

出逢ったことのない　自分を見つけ出そうよ

Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Secret Love

Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! 騒がずに

Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Secret Love

Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! 冷静にBurning Heart

この指とまれ　キミはButterfly

蜜より薫る秘密の唇 Oh Oh Oh

恋したいなら　おいでButterfly

綺麗な羽を休めていこうよ Oh Oh Oh

この指とまれ　ボクのButterfly

羽ばたく度に熱くなる吐息 Oh Oh Oh

愛が欲しいなら　おいでButterfly

素敵な夢の続きを見ようよ Oh Oh Oh Oh

熱い情熱が長続きしないんなら Oh! Baby

いつもとは違うCoolな恋をしよう

運命の人を密かに待っているんなら Oh! Baby

差し出すこの手を掴んで恋をしよう

視線を重ねたら　途端に逸らすとか

つまんない駆け引きは　時間の無駄だよね

危険な衝動に　理性を預けたら

自然と見つめ合う　それってただの恋だよ

Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Secret Love

Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! 騒がずに

Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Secret Love

Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! 冷静にBurning

この指とまれ　キミはButterfly

蜜より薫る秘密の唇 Oh Oh Oh

恋したいなら　おいでButterfly

綺麗な羽を休めていこうよ Oh Oh Oh

この指とまれ　ボクのButterfly

羽ばたく度に熱くなる吐息 Oh Oh Oh

愛が欲しいなら　おいでButterfly

素敵な夢の続きを見ようよ Oh Oh Oh Oh

リズムを合わせてステップ踏むように

未来を重ねる二人にときめいて
