Nothing To Do
Riri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just stop it
今更のベルはいつも brings me down
It always brings me down

No bluffing
うわべだけで見飽きたの oh your smile
I'm tired of seeing your smile
別に同調しなくても you're so
言葉だけで what you're saying don't make sense
You're superficial
I want something special
大袈裟な make up
I'm so done with all your lies

So 君のスタイル
Well I don't ever mind
でも絶対
You gotta give it up
You got nothing to do, and I
I got nothing to do with you

私のスタイル
You cannot deny
壊せない
Because it's all mine
You got nothing to do, and I
I got nothing to do with you

Not like that
It's easy to call but you gotta try to know
You gotta try to know

You with me?
ずっと繰り返す君は so afraid
Fooling me again and again

その場しのぎだけな your victory
着飾ったふりで
Such a prince from fairy tale

自分以外の誰かを
Hold tight
Can you do it all right??
All you've gotta do is try

So君のスタイル
Well I don't ever mind
でも絶対
You gotta give it up
You got nothing to do, and I
I got nothing to do with you

私のスタイル
You cannot deny
壊せない
Because it's all mine
You got nothing to do, and I
I got nothing to do with you

Yeah If you wanna win all this game
And you can hit the gong and play fair
You don't wanna run you don't wanna hide
きみの中の本当のきみを見せてよ
I cannot change you but you can change
And if you do that's when I get through to you
I can't get through to you
Get though to me

So君のスタイル
Well I don't ever mind
でも絶対
You gotta give it up
You got nothing to do, and I
I got nothing to do with you

私のスタイル
You cannot deny
壊せない
Because it's all mine




You got nothing to do, and I
I got nothing to do with you
