プロムの夜が最後のチャンス

Prom night is your last chance

彼氏はいるか 聞いたことないよ

I’ve never asked if you have a boyfriend

ねえ どこで話しかけりゃいいんだ?

Hey, where should I start talking to you?

こんなに人がいちゃ言い出せないし

With so many people around, I can't get up the courage

Ah, ah 諦めるのか?

Ah, ah, are you giving up now?

Ah, ah なんかしなきゃ始まんない

Ah, ah, I gotta do something or it won’t start

Ah, ah 手をこまねいてるより

Ah, ah, instead of standing around helplessly

ピーナッツでも投げてみようか

Maybe I’ll toss a peanut or something

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

無理して君のとこまで近づいて

踊ろうぜってジェスチャーをした

Made a gesture to invite you to dance

Dance like talkin' リズムに乗れば

Dance like talkin', if we catch the rhythm

Dance like talkin' 通じる気持ち

君のこと こんなにも思っていたのになぜだろう

I’ve been thinking about you so much, why is that?

First time, oh yeah

First time, oh yeah

Dance like talkin' 今さらでも

Dance like talkin', even now

ホントにこれが最後の I love you

Really, this is the last I love you

世界中で一番 今この瞬間 僕は幸せだ

The happiest moment right now, in the whole world, I’m so happy

Ma-ma-ma 瞼にロックンロール 焼き付けよう

Ma-ma-ma, let’s lock rock'n'roll into my eyelids

学校中の人気のマドンナ

The school’s most popular Madonna

あっちこっちに ライバルだらけさ

Competitors everywhere I turn

だけど ワンチャンくらいないかね?

But maybe I’ll get just one chance?

恥なんかかいたって卒業だし

Even if I feel embarrassed, graduation is near

Ah, ah イチかバチかで

Ah, ah 大胆に行動しよう

Ah, ah, take bold actions

Ah, ah 後悔するなら

Ah, ah, if you’ll regret, then

木っ端微塵で涙を飲もう

Tear me to shreds and forget about it

いきなり手なんか繋いじゃって

Suddenly holding hands

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
