[English]

We are friends, Gary

Love me

Love me as I am

I'm just another man

I might be a little strange

But can you love me

Love me anyway

Take me as I am

Because Lord knows, I could use a friend

We argue and get angry, the closest we get

No matter how frustrating or苦, I listen to you

Being by your side when you're feeling lonely

Because you would do the same for me

I know in the darkest corners

No one sees my lonely feelings

Being treated unfairly as a fool

Without asking how I feel

Who really cares about us

Just a small person

In this cruel world

Can somebody

Love me

Love me as I am

I'm just another man

I might be a little strange

But can you love me

Love me anyway

Take me as I am

Because Lord knows, I could use a friend

Who really cares about us

Just a small person

In this cruel world

Love me

Love me as I am

I'm just another man

I might be a little strange

But can you love me

Love me anyway

Take me as I am

Because Lord knows, I could use a friend

Love me

Love me as I am

I'm just another man

I might be a little strange

But can you love me

Love me anyway

Take me as I am

Just because we're friends

We argue and fight, but we understand each other best

No matter how troublesome or苦, I listen to you

Being with you when you're lonely

Because you do the same for me

我們是朋友　曹格

Love me

Love me as I am

I'm just another man

I might be a little strange

But can you Love me

Love me anyway

Take me as I am

Cause lord knows, I could use a friend

會吵也會鬧　最有默契的

有多煩多苦　都會聽你說

就在你身邊　當你很寂寞

因為你也會　為我這麼做

我知道在黑暗角落

沒人看見我孤單的滋味

被別人當作傻瓜不公平對待

不問我感覺

誰會對我們在乎

不過是個小人物

在這個殘酷的世界

Can somebody

Love me

Love me as I am

I'm just another man

I might be a little strange

But can you Love me

Love me anyway

Take me as I am

Cause lord knows, I could use a friend

誰會對我們在乎

不過是個小人物

在這個殘酷的世界

Love me

Love me as I am

I'm just another man

I might be a little strange

But can you Love me

Love me anyway

Take me as I am

Cause lord knows, I could use a friend

Love me

Love me as I am

I'm just another man

I might be a little strange

But can you Love me

Love me anyway

Take me as I am

只因為我們是朋友

會吵也會鬧　最有默契的

有多煩多苦　都會聽你說

就在你身邊　當你很寂寞

因為你也會　為我這麼做
