[English]

Hey Grace, guess what, cool

You're teaching in Japan and I got another school

You got another man and I got another boo

I'm glad we moved on, I'm glad we moved on

Hey Grace, guess what, cool

You're teaching in Japan and I'm living in a school

You got another man and I got another boo

I'm glad we moved on, I'm glad we moved on

Hey Grace, guess what, it's cool

You're teaching in Japan and I'm living in a school

You got another man and I got another boo

I'm glad we moved on, I'm glad we moved on

Hey Grace, guess what, cool

You're teaching in Japan and you got another boo

I got another man and you got another boo

I'm glad we moved on, I'm glad we moved on

I've grown check my clothes, I wear chinos

Oh, I'm such a lovely man

If you could see me now, now, now

Spent all your cash on cappuccinos

Oh, they match your mama's eyes

Wish you could bring them round, round, round

Hey, Grace, guess what, cool

I've got some managers and some pennies for the booth

I'm simply getting down down, why not are you

We had to move on, we had to move on

No one understands and no one thinks it's true

I know you wanted me, 'cause I know I wanted you

How can we be free if one plus one is true?

We had to move on, we had to move on

No one understands and no one thinks it's true

I know you wanted me, 'cause I know I wanted you

How can we be free if one plus one is true?

We had to move on, we had to move on

I've grown check my clothes, I wear chinos

Oh, I'm such a lovely man

If you could see me now, now, now

Spent all your cash on cappuccinos

Oh, they match your mama's eyes

Wish you could bring them round, round, round

Picking up the phone book, is it really true

Never really called back, is it really you

All you never did, just never getting through

Got to leave a message, nothing else to do

Picking up the phone book, is it really true

Never really called back, is it really you

All you never did, just never getting through

Got to leave a message, nothing else to do

Hey, Grace, guess what, cool

You're teaching in Japan and I got another school

You got another man and I got another boo

I'm glad we moved on, I'm glad we moved on

Hey Grace, guess what, cool

You're teaching in Japan and I'm living in a school

You got another man and I got another boo

I'm glad we moved on, I'm glad we moved on

I've grown check my clothes, I wear chinos

Oh, I'm such a lovely man

If you could see me now, now, now

Spent all your cash on cappuccinos

Oh, they match your mama's eyes

Wish you could bring them round, round, round

I've grown check my clothes, I wear chinos

Oh, I'm such a lovely man

If you could see me now, now, now

Spent all your cash on cappuccinos

Oh, they match your mama's eyes

Wish you could bring them round, round, round
