[English]

No

Hey baby, baby

Your heart's too big to be treated small

So please don't blame me, blame me

For trying to be the one who could have it all

You know that it's stupid, stupid

Telling you it's dark when you see the light

And I know you ain't foolish, foolish

Just give me one chance, I could treat you right

So I said

Will I ever be too far away when you feel alone? (No way, no)

Will I ever back down my sword to protect our home? (No way, no)

Will I ever spend a day not telling you you're beautiful? (No way, no)

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

My sister, sister

Told me that if love ever hits your eyes

I promise you'll miss her, miss her

The second that she walks right out your sight

So we should just do it (do it, do it)

Cause I don't wanna risk her being right

Let's not be foolish

Don't you know that family never lies?

I promise that

Will I ever be too far away when you feel alone? (No way, no)

Will I ever back down my sword to protect our home? (No way, no)

Will I ever spend a day not telling you you're beautiful? (No way, no)

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

...

Hey lady, lady

Life's too short to be waiting long

So let's not waste it, waste it

When we both know you're the one

Oh Ooh

Will I ever be too far away when you feel alone? (No way, no)

Will I ever back down my sword to protect our home? (No way, no)

Will I ever spend a day not telling you you're beautiful? (No way, no)

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no

No way, no way, no
