[English]

Why is it only me?

Alone every night

Like I'm half-crazy

Around the time the moon rises, I’m faded

Out of my mind because of you

Hurry, it’s time to call my girls

I’ll get you

Where are you? On my way

I don't plan to hate you, you know

You can’t sit with us, oh!

I hate you

When I think of you, I’m feelin’ faded

You can’t sit with us, oh!

I hate you

Why don't you know my heart, god damn it!

Who do you think you are?

You can’t sit with us!

When I think of you, I’m feelin’ faded

You can’t sit with us, oh!

Will you look at me now, baby?

I feel like I’m growlin’

Trippin’ now here

You said it’s love?
