Lyrics & Translation

[English]

People-pleasing planet

Got a million people saying how to plan it

I can no longer stand it

Gonna spend my days telling them to can it

Each and to their own

Got a salesman ringing my phone

Tell me where to go

No, I don't wanna hear the down low

I owe

Nothing, not a penny, never wanna hear you preach

No

Take me to the beach, ah

You could have the mountains, ah

You take the snow, ah

It's way too cold

My heart is cold enough, ah

Push comes to shove, ah

You could have the mountains, ah

I'll take the beach

If you want it, come and get it

Got a million people telling me they're with it

And they got me at my limit

And I'm telling you, I never spare a minute

If you wanna keep on living

For the sucker that is telling you your limit

Gotta find out it's a gimmick

Can't nobody tell you how to live it

I owe

Nothing, not a penny, never walking on a leash

No

Take me to the beach, ah

You could have the mountains, ah

You take the snow, ah

It's way too cold

My heart is cold enough, ah

Push comes to shove, ah

You could have the mountains, ah

I'll take the beach

I'm better off alone

Like a rolling stone

Turning off my phone

No one bringing me down, down, down, down

Just give me some space

That sun in my face

And the days go on, and on, and on, and on (T-A-K-E, T-A-K-E)

(T-A-K-E)

Take me to the beach, ah

You could have the mountains, ah

You take the snow, ah

It's way too cold (it's way too cold)

My heart is cold enough, ah

Push comes to shove, ah

You could have the mountains, ah

I'll take the beach (I'll take the -, I'll take the -)

Take me to the -

I don't have no friends, ask anyone

Got me 'til the end, my favorite one

Take me to the beach

I don't have no friends, ask anyone (ask anyone)

Got me 'til the end, my favorite one

Take me to the beach
