[English]

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, one two three

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, dance with me

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, one two three

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, dance with me

All day long, a dazzling ideal that fills my vision

A memo I left behind somewhere (Let it go)

Like a cheesecake without any sweetness

I want to refresh my bland everyday life

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, dance with me

Turn it up!

You can't just be spacing out

A sudden twist that started breaking away from the world

It's hard, Hurry hurry up, just thinking about you baby

And it's Monday again, yeah

My mood is only a third—feeling low

From now on, it'll probably just go up, down the road

If it's up to me, let's dream here

Okay okay, uh-huh

We gotta dance dance

Mostly, we'll be alright

See, get bolder and bolder—give a sign

(Hold your hands out now)

Trusting each other, missing each other, while loving

How about a new love?

You'll love it now

(Hold your hands out now)

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, one two three

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, dance with me

Can't waste time on the details Hey taxi, over here

No matter how far you go, the sky remains the same (Let it be)

Not on such a massive scale

Let's talk about tomorrow

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, dance with me

My heart remains mysterious all my life

Surely you'll feel loneliness too

Ay ay ay I can't give up

I wanna know your heart

Okay then, come on

Try this (together), like me (together)

Try this (keep it up), like me (well done)

Becoming one

A to Z

We gotta dance dance

Mostly, we'll be alright

See, get bolder and bolder—give a sign

(Hold your hands out now)

Having only troublesome things is just right

That's just right, isn't it?

You'll love it now

(Hold your hands out now)

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, one two three

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, dance with me

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, one two three

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, dance with me (Dance with me)

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, one two three

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, dance with me (We gotta dance)

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, one two three (Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek, oh)

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, dance with me

[Japanese]

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

四六時中 視界を覆う眩しい理想像

どこかに置き忘れた備忘録 (Let it go)

甘さのない Cheesecake くらい

味気ない毎日を新調したい

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, dance with me

Turn it up!

ぼーっとしてちゃダメなんです

世界から欠け駆け始めたどんでん返しとか

大変だ Hurry hurry up, just thinking about you baby

そしてまた Monday yeah

気分は三分の一で Low

あとは多分 上がるだけさ Down the road

自分次第ならここで夢を見よう

Okay okay, uh-huh

We gotta dance dance

だいたいは We'll be we'll be alright

ほらだんだん大胆に Give a sign

(Hold your hands out now)

信じあい すれ違い 愛しながら

How about a new love?

You'll love it now

(Hold your hands out now)

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, one two three

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, dance with me

四の五の言ってられない Hey taxi, over here

どこまで行っても空は同じ (Let it be)

こんなに巨大なスケールじゃなくて

明日の話をしよう

Cheek to cheek, cheek, cheek to cheek

Na na na na, dance with me

一生 心はミステリアス

きっと孤独も感じるさ

Ay ay ay I can't give up

I wanna know your heart

Okay then, come on

Try this (together), like me (together)

Try this (keep it up), like me (well done)

ひとつになるってこと
