Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
問いつめたら 家出をした 猫だと ごまかした
それならいい 背中に爪 長く立てて あげる
煙にむせ よせよヤバイ あなた あわてている
教えてあなた 煙草やめられますか
答えてあげます私 もうあなたやめられません
あー過ぎれば毒なの
スプーン一杯
危険なそれはジェラシー
Love me do
頃合いかも 別れようぜ ペアーリング はずす
あなたの顔 初めてみる 大人びた 影だわ
そんなのイヤ 胸をたたき 泣きじゃくるの 私
涙のつぶ シャンパンなの いつか酔いしれてる
賭けたらあなた お酒やめられますか
賭けてもいいけど私 もうあなたやめられません
あーちょっとなら媚薬(びやく)
あー誰も孤独なの
グラスにとかす
別れのそれはスリルね
Love me do
教えてあなた 煙草やめられますか
答えてあげます私 もうあなたやめられません
あーちょっとなら媚薬(びやく)
あー過ぎれば毒なの
スプーン一杯
危険なそれはジェラシー
Love me do
Love me do Love me do
