[English]

Ooh-ah

Ooh-ah

Holding on to my pillow tonight

It don't deserve to feel lonely like I do

In my mirror, my colors are bright

But when you see me

My body is see-through

Weirdo, oh-oh, ah

Weirdo, oh-oh, ah

Weirdo, ooh

Weirdo, how could you love me now?

Sometimes I wish our puzzle aligned

Sometimes I wish I could peel off my skin

Why? Why'd you have to think of me as divine?

Now every breath that I take is a sin

Every breath is a sin

Why do I let you in?

Weirdo, oh-oh, ah

Weirdo, oh-oh, ah

Weirdo, ooh

Weirdo, how could you love me now?

Weirdo, oh-oh, ah

Weirdo, oh-oh, ah

Weirdo, ooh

Weirdo, how could you love me now?

...

Weirdo

Weirdo

Weirdo

Weirdo

Weirdo, oh-oh, ah

Weirdo, oh-oh, ah

Weirdo, oh-oh, ah

Weirdo, how could you love me now?
