恋はバランス
PRINCESS PRINCESS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ハートのギャンブラー
あせらずに ポーカーフェイス
おやすみの kissが 短くなったね
いつも時計を気にして
女の子だけには 敏感にわかる
あぶない予感のテールランプ
ときどき 混線してる
誰が ジャマしているの(keep away from my boy)
Send me アンテナはここよ
恋はバランス
待ってるだけの
ジェラシーは みじめよ
恋はバランス
愛のかけひき
しかけるの ポーカーフェイス
しばらく電話は かけないつもりよ
それが逆転のチャンス
誰かが 私のチェリーを狙ってる
そんな うわさを流すわ
彼をあわてさせて
優しく むかえにいくの
恋に 夢中になれば(going out of my head)
Cheap trick 私の勝ちね
恋はバランス
こんなにムキに
させたのは あなたよ
恋はバランス
ハートのギャンブラー
最後まで ポーカーフェイス
The song is about the balance in love, how you can't be too clingy, but you also can't be too distant. The lyrics suggest that love is like a game of poker, where you have to keep a straight face and bluff your way through it. The singer talks about how she's waiting patiently and not showing too much jealousy, as it's not attractive. She mentions how she's become more sensitive to time, always checking the clock and even noticing when the goodnight kiss becomes shorter.
The lyrics then talk about the dangers of being too complacent, as someone might come along and try to steal your lover away. There are rumors being spread about the singer, and she plans to use it as an opportunity to make her lover jealous and show her affection. She's confident in her love, even calling it a "cheap trick" that she's going to win.
Overall, the song is a playful take on the intricacies of love, and how it's all about striking the right balance.
