Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

虔誠奉獻 學會退讓

Devoted and yielding

凡事亦替他來設想

Always thinking of him in everything

你慨嘆 是否這樣才被他看上

You sigh, is this the only way to get his attention?

談情大概 樂趣至上

Love should be fun

誰願受你恩情去鼓掌

Who wants to be applauded for accepting your favor?

你看你 令他多謝多得很勉強

Look at you, making him thank you so reluctantly

過份主動 令情人負重 為何沒法懂

Being too proactive burdens your lover, why can't you understand?

一再感動 太濫了便驚恐

Repeatedly moved, too much becomes alarming

平日太自愛 他不慣被愛

Usually so self-loving, he's not used to being loved

唯恐困在懷內 討厭被期待

Afraid of being trapped in affection, hating being expected

錯在你 關心他將來

Your mistake is caring about his future

哪知他喜歡主宰

Who knew he likes to dominate?

天生愛競賽 他只愛示愛

Born to compete, he only loves to show love

贏得你認同後 興奮又無奈

Winning your approval makes him excited and frustrated

錯在你 這麼急於貼服到像奴才

Your mistake is being so quick to submit like a servant

認真正是要害

Sincerity is the fatal flaw

談情未免 要耍把戲

Love needs some tricks

尤其是有種人愛驚喜

Especially for those who love surprises

你試試 令他不易得到整個你

Try making it hard for him to have you completely

角力追逐 是男士玩意 越難越滿足

Tug-of-war is a man's game, the harder it is, the more satisfied he is

他要 征服 你太快被制伏

He wants to conquer, you're being subdued too quickly

平日太自愛 他不慣被愛

Usually so self-loving, he's not used to being loved

唯恐困在懷內 討厭被期待

Afraid of being trapped in affection, hating being expected

錯在你 關心他將來

Your mistake is caring about his future

哪知他喜歡主宰

Who knew he likes to dominate?

天生愛競賽 他只愛示愛

Born to compete, he only loves to show love

贏得你認同後 興奮又無奈

Winning your approval makes him excited and frustrated

錯在你 這麼急於貼服到像奴才

Your mistake is being so quick to submit like a servant

認真正是要害

Sincerity is the fatal flaw

你我太習慣 愛得坦誠

We're too used to loving honestly

這個惡習要改改

This bad habit needs to change

他想你自愛 他不慣被愛

He wants you to love yourself, he's not used to being loved

唯恐困在懷內 討厭被期待

Afraid of being trapped in affection, hating being expected

錯在你 他一呼即來 結果更快被踢開

Your mistake is coming when he calls, which leads to being dumped faster

天生愛競賽 他只愛示愛

Born to compete, he only loves to show love

贏得你認同後 興奮又無奈

Winning your approval makes him excited and frustrated

錯在你 這麼死心塌地到像奴才

Your mistake is being so devoted like a servant

認真正是要害

Sincerity is the fatal flaw
