けんかをやめて
竹内まりや Lyrics

けんかをやめて二人を止めて
私のために争わないでもうこれ以上

ちがうタイプの人を好きになってしまう
揺れる乙女心よくあるでしょう
だけどどちらとも少し距離を置いて
うまくやってゆける自信があったの

ごめんなさいね私のせいよ
二人の心もて遊んで

ちょっぴり楽しんでたの
思わせぶりな態度で

だからけんかをやめて二人をとめて
私のために争わないでもうこれ以上

ボーイフレンドの数競う仲間達に
自慢したかったのただそれだけなの
いつか本当の愛わかる日が来るまで
そっとしておいてね大人になるから

ごめんなさいね私のせいよ
二人の心もて遊んで
ちょっぴり楽しんでたの
思わせぶりな態度で

だからけんかをやめて二人をとめて
私のために争わないでもうこれ以上

After her comeback to the Japanese music industry in 1984, she has accomplished huge commercial success more than when she was single. From that year to the present, she has recorded 6 successful studio albums that mainly consisted of her self-penned songs, and all of them have reached #1 on the Japanese Oricon chart.

As a singer-songwriter, she has produced 8 top-ten hit singles on the Oricon, including "Single Again", "Kokuhaku", "Junai Rhapsody", "Konya wa Hearty Party" and her only #1 hit "Camouflage".
