Lyrics:

[English]

[日本語]

There you were freaking out

そこにあなたがいて、取り乱してた

Tryna get your head around

頭を抱えながら

The fact that me and you and love is dead

私と愛はもう終わったって事実に

See how I'm tripping out

どうにかして理解しようとしてる

'Cause you can't decide

'Cause you can't decide

What you really want from me

本当に私に何を望んでいるのか

Why does it have to be like this

なぜこうなるのか

I can never tell

いつもわからないまま

'Cause you make me love you, love you baby

'Cause you make me love you, love you baby

With a little L

ちいさなLを添えて

There you were shouting out

叫びながら登場したあなた

Cranking up your altercations

言い争いを激化させて

Getting upset in your desperation

絶望の中でイライラして

Screaming and hollering

叫び声をあげて

How could this love become so paper thin

どうしてこんな愛が紙のように薄くなるの

You're playing so hard to get

あなたはわざと手の届かないふりして

You're making me sweat just to hold your attention

あなたの注意を引くために汗だくになる

I can't give you nothing more

もう何もあげられない

If you ain't giving nothing to me

あなたが私に何もくれなければ

Don't you know that

知ってるでしょう

You make me love you, love you baby

You make me love you, love you baby

With a little L

ちいさなLを添えて

Why does it have to be like this

なぜこうなるのか

I can never tell

いつもわからないまま

Seems like you're steppin' on the pieces

あなたは壊れた殻の破片を踏みつけてるみたい

Of my broken shell

Because you make me love you, love you

'Cause you make me love you, love you

ちいさなLを添えて、知ってる

With a little L, you know

With a little L, you know

That's the way you make me love you, yeah

それがあなたの愛し方、そう

...
