[English]

Why'd you wanna go (why'd you wanna go)

And put stars in your eyes? (And put stars in your eyes?)

Why'd you wanna go (why'd you wanna go)

And put stars in your eyes? (And put stars in your eyes? Fresh)

So, why'd you wanna go (so, why'd you wanna go)

And put stars in your eyes? (And put stars in your eyes?)

Now, why'd you wanna go (now, why'd you wanna go)

And put stars in your eyes? (And put stars in your eyes?)

You need somebody, baby, just call me

Tell me what always keeps you up at night (come and talk to me, yeah)

When you said you're dealin' with another boy

Tell me how it's goin' for ya

See that girl that's standing over there? (See that girl that's standing over there?)

She's watching there everywhere (she's watching there everywhere)

Now she's watching you head to toe (head to toe)

When you leave, that's where she'll go, come and talk to me

Things are gettin' darker in the city

Please find your way out of the city

Describe your love out of the city

It's gettin' darker in the city

Why'd you wanna go (why'd you wanna go)

And put stars in your eyes? (And put stars in your eyes? Fresh)

Why'd you wanna go (why'd you wanna go)

And put stars in your eyes? (And put stars in your eyes? It's you and me)

So, why'd you wanna go (so, why'd you wanna go)

And put stars in your eyes? (And put stars in your eyes? Whoa, whoa)

Now, why'd you wanna go (now, why'd you wanna go)

And put stars in your eyes? (And put stars in your eyes?)

You're having bad, bad thoughts, items hidden in your drawer

And you don't know how long you'll keep on fighting this for

Check the mattress on the bed, it's your name that's being said

Or maybe you'll just name the other person instead

Hello? (Hey)

Yeah, I'm gon' be there in ten minutes

Make sure you've got the stuff (I don't have any of your stuff)

Don't test me, you know I can't talk about this on the cellphone

Oh my God (got it?), Whatever

If it turns out you're the cops, we're done doin' business, later

Things are gettin' darker in the city (city)

Please find your way out of the city (ah-oh)

Describe your love out of the city (la-la-la, la-la)

It's gettin' darker in the city

Why'd you wanna go and put stars in your eyes? (Fresh)

It's the same old story, but they just didn't realize

And it's a long way to go from a private bedroom dance routine

And Saturday night's drunken dreams

You need somebody, baby, just call me

Tell me what always keeps you up at night (yeah)

When you said you're dealin' with another boy

Tell me how it's goin' for ya
