ちょっと他人には言えないけど
このままいけばそうなるかも
つき合ってから3ヶ月たてば
早くないでしょ
昨夜送ってもらいながら
停めたクルマ半ドアにして
帰りたくないってつぶやいた

言葉で確かめた
おたがいの気持ちに
短いKissじゃ何か足りない

疑問私不良でしょうか
そんなコトを待っているなんて
疑問私早熟ですか
だけど彼を愛しているのよ

わりと外見がクールだから
遊んでそうに見られるけど
ちゃんと誰かとつき合うのはそう
彼が初めて
無口で優しくはないけど
最初に彼を見たときから
こうなるような予感がしたの

沈黙になるたび
胸が痛くなった
女の子ならイヤと言えない

疑問私不良でしょうか
そんなコトを考えてばかり
疑問私生意気ですか
だけどこれは好奇心じゃない

疑問私不良でしょうか
そんなコトを考えてばかり

疑問私早熟ですか
だけど彼を愛しているのよ

Overall Meaning

The song "疑問" by 立花理佐 ("Question" in English) is a heartfelt ballad about the singer's feelings of uncertainty and insecurity in a budding romantic relationship. The lyrics discuss the idea that the singer may be moving too fast in the relationship, and questions whether her feelings are legitimate or not. She mentions that she feels unable to express her discomfort with the pace of the relationship, and muses on whether her concerns are those of a "bad girl" or someone who is "too mature" for her age.

The song's chorus features the singer raising these questions about herself, asking "Am I a bad girl for waiting for this? Am I too mature?" Despite these doubts, however, she declares that she loves her partner, and that her feelings are not simply those of idle curiosity.

Overall, the song is a reflection on the complex and often conflicted emotions that can come with falling in love, particularly when the relationship moves faster than one might be comfortable with. The lyrics capture the hesitation and self-doubt that can come with this experience, while still expressing the singer's deep love for her partner.
