[English]

Smudged red lipstick on you
I'm so satisfied
We spilled that coffee cup
On my couch a thousand times
Oh, now I smile at strangers
I'm that annoying type
Who don't care if there's traffic
'Cause I've got plans tonight, oh
Later we'll meet at your place
Later we'll be together (ah)
Ever since you said that you were mine
Everything's going my way
And I like to get my way
Even when things go sideways
Raining on my parade
I get all my confidence from you
I get all my confidence from you
Hmm

One more cute disaster
Said, "I love you" twice
Before you could even answer
It's hard here in paradise
I'm living to look at your face
Living it up together (ah)
Ever since you said that you were mine
Everything's going my way
And I like to get my way
Even when things go sideways
Raining on my parade
I get all my confidence from you
I get all my confidence from you
Hmm

Ever since you said
