愛して愛して愛しちゃったのよ
サザンオールスターズ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

愛しちゃったのよ
愛しちゃったのよ
あなただけを死ぬ程に
愛しちゃったのよ
愛しちゃったのよ
ねてもさめてもただあなただけ

生きているのが

つらくなるような長い夜
こんな気持ちは
誰もわかっちゃくれない

愛しちゃったのよ
愛しちゃったのよ
あなただけを
生命をかけて

"真夏の風はどうしてこんなに切ないのでしょう
世の中がどんなに変わっても
あなたを思う気持ちは
きっといつまでも変わりません"

いつからこんなに
いつからこんなに
あなたを好きになったのか
どうしてこんなに
どうしてこんなに
あなたの為に苦しいのかしら

もしもあなたが
居なくなったらどうしよう
私一人じゃ
とても生きちゃゆけない

愛しちゃったのよ
愛しちゃったのよ
あなただけを生命をかけて
生命をかけて生命をかけて

愛してしまう生命をかけて
こんな気持ちはただあなただけ
つらくなるような夜
寝てもさめても夢

"そうなんです
あなたの居ない夜は
いけないことかしら
あなたを愛しちゃったんです"

"暑かったけど
短かったよね夏"
