Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
whatever you say!
Whatever you say!
Whatever you say!
Washing, drying,
folding and over and over again
But if I quit all of the
I never ever make it
on time and deadline, no way!
I've got something else to do
that's more important to me
Yeah
I guess you know I am an actress
Inside my heart
I'm always waiting for you
Oh Oh Oh ... whatever, whatever,
whatever you say!
Whatever you say!
Whatever you say!
Yes-yes, no-no, uh-huh
and what's gonna come up next?
You are so boring
I don't feel like talking to you
The other day he yelled at me
and I got a headache
He better learn how to tell cuz
all I remember is his angry face
His stupid face
I don't think
it's so complicated
Don't you dare to apply
pressure to my way!
Oh Oh Oh ... whatever, whatever,
whatever you say!
Oh Oh...whatever you say!
Oh...whatever, whatever,
whatever you say! ...
I only want to see
the beauty side of it all
I only want to join
when I feel so much fun
I only want to cry
when I could feel so happy
No need to listen!
No need, baby,
whatever you want!
Look up. Have you seen this sky?
Stand up. Do you feel this wind?
You never need to hurry up baby
And listen, whatever,
whatever I say!!
If you were walking to my door
Or if you were running
to my door
There is gonna be a
happy time anyway
So, whatever, whatever,
whatever they say!
Oh Oh Oh ... whatever you say!
Oh Oh Oh ... whatever, whatever,
whatever you say!
