Lyrics

Japanese

大キライだったそばかすをちょっと
ひとなでしてタメ息をひとつ
ヘヴィー級の恋はみごとに
角砂糖と一緒に溶けた
前よりももっと やせた胸にちょっと
“チクッ"っとささるトゲがイタイ
星占いも あてにならないわ
もっと遠くまで 一緒にゆけたら ねぇ
うれしくて それだけで

想い出はいつもキレイだけど
それだけじゃ おなかがすくわ
本当は せつない夜なのに
どうしてかしら?
あの人の笑顔も思いだせないの

Romaji

daikirai datta sobakasu wo chotto
hitonade shite tameiki wo hitotsu
HEAVY kyuu no koi wa migoto ni
kakuzatou to issho ni toketa
maeyori mo motto yaseta mune ni chotto
"chiku" tto sasaru toge ga itai
hoshi uranai mo ate ni naranai wa
motto tooku made issho ni yuketara nee
ureshikute sore dake de

omoide wa itsumo kirei dakedo
sore dake ja onaka ga suku wa
hontou wa setsunai yoru na no ni
doushite kashira? ano hito no egao mo omoidasenai no
