Love Story
Katharine McPhee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Oo, oo, oo)
I think it was the summertime
When I laid eyes on you
I didn't even know your name
Somehow we'd ended up in the same room
It never crossed my mind
I never saw you like that
I should've listened to my best friend
She knew we'd be a perfect match

It's a typical love story
We started out as friends
We met way back when
This is just a
Typical love story

The boy you never wanted just steals your heart
I never saw it coming 'till I fell so hard

(Oo, oo, oo)

I always made up some excuse
Saying that you weren't my type
Didn't wanna face the truth
Didn't wanna cross that line
'Till one day I saw you
Out the corner of my eye
You were flirting with some girl
And inside I thought I would die

It's a typical love story
We started out as friends
We met way back when
This is just a
Typical love story

The boy you never wanted just steals your heart
I never saw it coming 'till I fell so hard

Can't believe it's happening
When I least expected
My prince under disguise
How you fooled me with those eyes
When I feel like I am blue
In your arms is where I knew
I am wrong
From the beginning we always belong

(Love story love)

(This is my
This is my love story
This is my love story)

It's a typical love story
We started out as friends (friends)
We met way back when
This is just a
Typical love story

The boy you never wanted just steals your heart
I never saw it coming 'till I fell so hard

It's a typical love story
We started out as friends
We met way back when
This is just a
Typical love story





The boy you never wanted just steals your heart
I never saw it coming 'till I fell so hard

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah
tôi nghĩ đó là mùa hè
I think it was the summertime

Khi tôi để mắt đến bạn
When I laid eyes on you

Tôi thậm chí không biết tên của bạn
I didn't even know your name

Bằng cách nào đó chúng tôi sẽ kết thúc trong cùng một phòng
Somehow we'd end up in the same room

Nó không bao giờ vượt qua tâm trí của tôi
It never crossed my mind

Tôi chưa bao giờ thấy bạn như vậy
I never saw you like that

Tôi nên lắng nghe người bạn tốt nhất của tôi
I should've listened to my best friend

Cô ấy biết chúng ta sẽ là một cặp đôi hoàn hảo
She knew we'd be a perfect match
Đó là một câu chuyện tình yêu điển hình
It's a typical love story

Chúng tôi bắt đầu như những người bạn
We started out as friends

Chúng tôi đã gặp nhau khi
We met way back when

Đây chỉ là một câu chuyện tình yêu điển hình
This is just a typical love story

Chàng trai bạn không bao giờ muốn vừa đánh cắp trái tim bạn
The boy you never wanted just steals your heart

Tôi chưa bao giờ thấy nó đến cho đến khi tôi gục ngã
I never saw it comin' 'til I fell so hard
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah
Tôi luôn bịa ra một số lý do
I always made up some excuse

Sayin' rằng bạn không phải là mẫu người của tôi
Sayin' that you weren't my type

Không muốn đối mặt với sự thật
Didn't wanna face the truth

Không muốn vượt qua ranh giới đó
Didn't wanna cross that line

'Cho đến một ngày tôi nhìn thấy bạn
'Til one day I saw you

Ra khỏi khóe mắt của tôi
Out of the corner of my eye

Bạn đang tán tỉnh một cô gái nào đó
You were flirting with some girl

Và bên trong tôi nghĩ tôi sẽ chết
And inside I thought I would die
Đó là một câu chuyện tình yêu (hey) điển hình
It's a typical (hey) love story

Chúng tôi bắt đầu như những người bạn (bạn bè)
We started out as friends (friends)

Chúng tôi đã gặp nhau khi (khi)
We met way back when (when)

Chàng trai bạn không bao giờ muốn vừa đánh cắp trái tim bạn
The boy you never wanted just steals your heart

Tôi chưa bao giờ thấy nó đến cho đến khi tôi gục ngã
I never saw it comin' 'til I fell so hard
Không thể tin được nó đang xảy ra
Can't believe it's happening

Khi tôi ít mong đợi nhất
When I least expect it

Hoàng tử của tôi dưới lớp ngụy trang
My prince under disguise

Làm thế nào bạn đánh lừa tôi với đôi mắt đó
How you fooled me with those eyes

Khi tôi cảm thấy muốn buông tay
When I feel like letting go

Trong vòng tay của bạn là nơi tôi biết
In your arms is where I know

Tôi sai
I am wrong

Ngay từ đầu, chúng ta luôn thuộc về
From the beginning, we always belong

Love, love story
