[English]

No, no, no, no

A voice in my head shouting "Stop, idiot"

Darlin', baby, darlin'

Feeling wildly in love, a philosophy that makes my heart race

An adorable, upward gaze that feels like I could die

Breaking laws just a little

Spreading chaos, losing control without realizing

It's your fault for being born into this world

This love sickness is so exhausting

My scattered mind and body

From my carotid artery, "I love you" flows out

IRIS OUT

What should I do with these feelings?

How can I reach inside my ribs?

The sugar melts, and I feel like I might vomit

My pupils are wide open, I feel like I might drown

Right now, only you in this world is the perfect answer

Darlin’ (Baby) darlin’ (Aha)

Darlin’ (Baby) darlin’ (Aha)

Darlin’ (Baby) darlin’ (Ha ha)

Darlin’ (Baby) darlin’ (Ha ha)

Even if I turn over, there's no winning

Only you are outside the rules

Othello with only black pieces left

Unlimited blackmail

The spell you cast with a smile, like an "Abarakedabra"

Stigmas on my forehead, I’m sorry about that

Piercing through my weak points with an arrow

An adorable, upward gaze that feels like I could die

Just about illegal, enough to break the law

Spreading chaos, losing control without realizing

It's your fault for being born into this world

Even a knockoff is fine, anything is fine

I want everything now, that is called "you"

From my carotid artery, "I love you" flows out

IRIS OUT

What should I do with these feelings?

How can I reach inside my ribs?

The sugar melts, and I feel like I might vomit

My pupils are wide open, I feel like I might drown

Right now, only you in this world is the perfect answer

Darlin’ (Baby) darlin’ (Aha)

Darlin’ (Baby) darlin’ (Aha)

Darlin’ (Baby) darlin’ (Ha ha)

Darlin’ (Baby) darlin’ (Ha ha)

[Japanese]

駄目駄目駄目

脳みその中から「やめろ馬鹿」と喚くモラリティ

ダーリンベイビーダーリン

半端なくラブ！ときらめき浮き足立つフィロソフィ

死ぬほど可愛い上目遣い

なにがし法に触れるくらい

ばら撒く乱心 気づけば蕩尽

この世に生まれた君が悪い

やたらとしんどい恋煩い

バラバラんなる頭とこの身体

頸動脈からアイラブユーが噴き出て

アイリスアウト

一体どうしようこの想いを

どうしようあばらの奥を

ザラメが溶けてゲロになりそう

瞳孔バチ開いて溺れ死にそう

今この世で君だけ大正解

Darlin' (Baby) darlin' (Aha)

ひっくり返っても勝ちようない

君だけルールは適用外

四つともオセロは黒しかない

カツアゲ放題

君が笑顔で放ったアバダケダブラ

デコにスティグマ 申し訳ねえな

矢を刺して貫いてここ弱点

死ぬほど可愛い上目遣い

なにがし法に触れるくらい

ばら撒く乱心 気づけば蕩尽

この世に生まれた君が悪い

パチモンでもいい何でもいい

今君と名付いてる全て欲しい

頸動脈からアイラブユーが噴き出て

アイリスアウト

一体どうしようこの想いを

どうしようあばらの奥を

ザラメが溶けてゲロになりそう

瞳孔バチ開いて溺れ死にそう

今この世で君だけ大正解

Darlin' (Baby) darlin' (Aha)

Darlin' (Baby) darlin' (Aha)

Darlin' (Baby) darlin' (Ha ha)
