Tactics
The Yellow Monkey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
シャキッとした俺の体 まるで試されてるように
ツンとした君と空気に ゾクッとした恋心は
ザラッとした砂を噛み されるがまま夜になる
そろそろ自慢のくちびるで
ワインを飲ませてくれないか
満月の夜に結ばれた 男と女は永遠さ
激しく lady, ah, gimme your love
妖しく lady, I need your love
たまに見せる淋しげな目が 嘘か本当かわからない
素直に lady, ah, gimme your love
感じてみて lady, I need your love
君のしぐさに振り回されて 夢中の愛は俺の中で踊る
サラッとした髪をとき ツヤッとした肌をよせ
言葉遊びをするように 君は俺をもて遊ぶ
駆け引きは強い君の中 過ちは弱い俺の中
好きなだけ楽しめばいいさ 男と女は永遠さ
激しく lady, ah, gimme your love
妖しく lady, I need your love
たまに見せる優しい笑顔が 嘘か本当かわからない
素直に lady, ah, gimme your love
感じてみて lady, I need your love
君のしぐさで俺を殺して その一瞬が何より幸せさ
闇の中踊る 抱きしめて踊る
何度でも踊る 永遠に踊る
永遠に踊る 永遠に踊る 永遠に踊る oh yeah
