[English]

Your arrival makes my heart race

So fast, so chaotic, so sweet, so annoying

Hey! I can't help but look, afraid of being seen through, I walk away

I can't say it, you're too attractive, that's why I came over

Left turn, right turn, took several twists and turns, yeah

Hmm! Steady waiting, not afraid of how congested the road is, yeah

I still don't have an answer

Maybe being considerate is just your habit

It doesn't mean anything, it's not love

It's not a hint of your love

I also don't have the odds in my favor

A hundred rehearsals, completely honest with you in my heart

What opening line can replace "say hi"?

Oh, why are we still not in love?

Is it fear of getting hurt, or fear of loving too much?

Oh, why are we still not in love?

Ambiguity is a bit annoying, making it hard to decide

Carefully looking at every post you share

Want to confirm there are no ambiguous other people around you

You reply to my messages the fastest

I like browsing every photo with you in it

I can recognize any outfit, your expressions leave me mesmerized, yeah

The daze you tease me about is all because you're so good-looking, yeah

I still don't have an answer

Maybe being considerate is just your habit

It doesn't mean anything, it's not love

It's not a hint of your love

I also don't have the odds in my favor

A hundred rehearsals, completely honest with you in my heart

What opening line can replace "say hi"?

Oh, why are we still not in love?

Is it fear of getting hurt, or fear of loving too much?

Oh, why are we still not in love?

Ambiguity is a bit annoying, making it hard to decide

Why are you still not in love? Why am I still hesitating?

Oh! Do you also feel that if you should love, just go love (just go love)?

What opening line can replace "say hi"?

Oh, why are we still not in love?

Is it fear of getting hurt, or fear of loving too much?

Oh, why are we still not in love?

Ambiguity is a bit annoying, making it hard to decide

Why are you still not in love? Why am I still hesitating?

Oh! Do you also feel that you should love?

是你的到來 讓我的心快跳出來

好快 好亂 好甜 好煩

嘿！是不能不看 怕被 看穿 我 走開

說不出 你太吸引我 才走過來

左轉 右拐 拐了 好幾個彎 yeah

嗯！踏實的等待 不怕路上 多麼堵塞 yeah

我還沒有答案

也許貼心 只是你的習慣

並沒有意義 不是喜歡

不是暗示你的愛

我也還沒有勝算

一百次彩排 在心中對妳完全坦白

什麼開場白 才可以 取代say hi

Oh 我們怎麼還不愛

是怕受傷害 還是怕 太愛

Oh 我們怎麼還不愛

曖昧有點煩 讓人進退兩難

仔細的看 你po的每條動態

想要確認你身邊 沒有曖昧的 其他對象啊

我的留言 你回最快

喜歡瀏覽有你在的 每張照片

什麼裝扮都認得出來 讓我出神的 神態 yeah

被你取笑的發呆 都是因為你 太好看 yeah

我還沒有答案

也許貼心 只是你的習慣

並沒有意義 不是喜歡

不是暗示你的愛

我也還沒有勝算

一百次彩排 在心中對妳完全坦白

什麼開場白 才可以 取代say hi

Oh 我們怎麼還不愛

是怕受傷害 還是怕太愛

Oh 我們怎麼還不愛

曖昧有點煩 讓人進退兩難

你怎麼還不愛 我怎麼還在徘徊

Oh!是否妳(你)也覺得該去愛 就去愛 (就去愛)

什麼開場白 才可以 取代say Hi

Oh 我們怎麼還不愛

是怕受傷害 還是怕太愛

Oh 我們怎麼還不愛

曖昧有點煩 讓人進退兩難

你怎麼還不愛 我怎麼還在徘徊

Oh!是否妳(你)也覺得該去愛
