[English]

Ever wonder about what he's doing

How it all turned to lies?

Sometimes I think that it's better

to never ask why.

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame

Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned

But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die.

You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

Funny how the heart can be deceiving

More than just a couple times

Why do we fall in love so easy?

Even when it's not right.

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame

Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned

But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die.

You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

Ever worry that it might be ruined

And does it make you wanna cry?

When you're out there doing what you're doing

Are you just getting by?

Tell me, are you just getting by, by, by?

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame

Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned

But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die.

You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try.
