Boøwy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

シャレたスタイルで drastic dancin' (drastic dancin')
ぬれたルージュに dramatic shockin' (dramatic shockin')
見つめないでネこのままで say goodnight
はしゃぐばかりで気づかない

Oh, you shoot my heart
Oh, don't break my heart

軽いステップで drastic dancin' (drastic dancin')
まわる指先に dramatic shockin' (dramatic shockin')
さわらないでねそのままで say goodnight
さめた愛など欲しくない

Oh, you shoot my heart
Oh, don't break my heart

見つめないでネこのままで say goodnight
さわらないでねそのままで say goodnight
ついてこないでそこにいて say goodbye
さめた愛など欲しくない

Oh, you shoot my heart
Oh, don't break my heart
Oh, you shoot my heart
Oh, don't break my heart

Oh, you shoot my heart

Oh, don't break my heart
Oh, oh, my heart
