Kono yo ni jinsei no sentakushi
Ga aru naru ba
Konya kono bashou ni kitte mireba true
Kimi no eyes de
Tashikameru koto ni naru deshou

chuuchou shinai de mae dake wo might
Odoru tte mireba ii dake yo
Jikan ga nai no miraabooru no you ni
Jiyuuni step!!

you know you love yourself
But nigete bakari ne?
You know you love yourself
But hamatte yuku
You know you love yourself
But me wo fusai deru
You know you love yourself
But anata ga iru

tomerarenai kodou to karada to rizumu wo hey boy
Kimi to kono mama saigo made to kimeta
Ima sugu chikaku ni kitte kanji te hoshii but

moshimo watashi ga konya kimi no doa
Nokku shinakereba kimi wa eien no beeru
Tsutsumareta mama datta no ne dou?
Docchi ga shiawase datta no??

自分用

この世に人生の選択肢があるならば
今夜この場所に行ってみればTrue
君のEyes で確かめるコトになるでしょう

躊躇しないで前だけを見て
踊ってみればいいだけよ
時間がないのミラーボールのように
自由に STEP !!

You know you love yourself
But 逃げてばかりね?
You know you love yourself
But はまってゆく
You know you love yourself
But 目をふさいでる
You know you love yourself
But あなたがいる

止められない鼓動と体とリズムを Hey boy

君とこのまま 最後までと決めた
今すぐ近くにきて感じてほしい
But

もしも私が 今夜君のドア
ノックしなければ 君は永遠のベール
包まれたままだったのね どう?
どっちが幸せだったの??

本当はもう 抜けられない
体になっているんでしょ??
誰も笑わせないからそう
後悔させたりしないから

You know you love yourself
But 逃げてばかりね?
You know you love yourself
But はまってゆく
You know you love yourself
But 目をふさいでる
You know you love yourself
But あなたがいる

止められない鼓動と体とリズムを Hey boy

君とこのまま 最後までと決めた
今すぐ近くにきて感じてほしい But

君とこのまま…
止められない鼓動と…

You know you love yourself
But 逃げてばかりね?
You know you love yourself
But はまってゆく
You know you love yourself
But 目をふさいでる
You know you love yourself
But あなたがいる

You know you love yourself
But 逃げてばかりね?
You know you love yourself
But はまってゆく
You know you love yourself
But 目をふさいでる
You know you love yourself
But あなたがいる

止められない鼓動と体とリズムを Hey boy

You know you love yourself
君とこのまま 最後までと決めた
You know you love yourself
今すぐ近くにきて感じてほしい But

当時、小学生だったわたしは見たときにえちえち過ぎて見てられないけど見入っちゃって外人のお姉さん達もセクシー過ぎてチューした時には発狂もんでした…刺激強かったなあ……今でもカラオケで歌ってます😭🌼💗

@atsuyan06

カラフルでめちゃくちゃかわいい

@jsb93cham

受験会場にど緊張で何も考えられないまま向かう途中この曲を聞いてました。応援歌という感じの曲ではありませんが「躊躇しないで前だけを見て!」という歌詞がスッと入ってきて、あ!そっか!やれることをやろう!前だけをみよう! そう背中を押された大切な歌です。それ以来何か勝負事があるときはこの歌を聞きます。疾走感もあって逆に応援歌ほど頑張れ感がないから気負いしなくてちょうどいいんです(^ν^)

@Banmeshiii

受験前って意外とこういう曲聞くよね

@neko_milk1

この曲とPV好き〜🥰!!
