捨てられて
長山洋子 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

でもねあの人悪くないのよ
噂信じた私が悪い
そうよ一人に
なるのこわくて
尽くしすぎて
捧げすぎて捨てられたの
どんな愛でもいい
すがれるものなら

どんな愛でもいい
やり直せるなら
でもね帰れる部屋は
部屋はもうないの
だからだから今夜は
つき合ってよ

でもねあの人憎めないのよ
ひどい男と言うのはやめて
そうよ悲しい嘘がなければ
あの人よりやさしい人
いないはずよ
どんな愛でもいい
つめたくされても
どんな愛でもいい
そばにいられたら
でもね大事な鍵も
鍵も返したの
だからだから今夜は
つき合ってよ
どんな愛でもいい
すがれるものなら
どんな愛でもいい
やり直せるなら
でもね帰れる部屋は
部屋はもうないの

だからだから今夜は
つき合ってよ
