I Don't Like Mondays. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't be serious, it's not a problem
You and I are gonna be so fine, take it easy
Listen anyway, it's not a wrong way
足踏みは今している暇はない

Hey don't look back baby
どんな壁があっても乗り越えられないなら迷わずに壊してよ
Hey don't look back baby
あなたが必要なら迷わずに頼ってよ
Oh it's destiny

Everybody's going to die
Come on baby don't waste your time
You can do whatever you want
It's gonna be better (it's gonna be better)

Everybody's going today
Come on baby don't be afraid
You can do whatever you want
It's gonna be better
Don't look back

Keep on going, you're fuckin' perfect
You and I are gonna be so fine, make it simple
Listen anyway, life is a one way
この世界は想像ほど悪くはない

Hey don't look back baby
もし道に迷ったら 遠回りの分だけ 楽しんでしまうのさ
Hey don't look back baby
泣きたいその時には迷わずに頼ってよ
Oh it's destiny

Everybody's going to die
Come on baby don't waste of time
You can do whatever you want
It's gonna be better (it's gonna be better)

Everybody's going today
Come on baby don't be afraid
You can do whatever you want
It's gonna be better
Don't look back
Just don't look back

Everybody's going to die
Come on baby don't waste of time
You can do whatever you want
It's gonna be better (it's gonna be better)

Everybody's going today
Come on baby don't be afraid
You can do whatever you want
It's gonna be better




Don't look back
Just don't look back
