lyrics

Do you think I don’t know how you’re feeling inside?
I’m not a fool girl
When your eyes meet mine
You look away as if nothing is wrong
Oh baby, you’re like a little boy

All the girls in school talk about who’s on your mind
Nobody knows the one you want but me

(I hold you back) Keep it as a secret
(I hold you back) I pretend I like someone else
(I hold you back) Come on and chase me

If your love is meant to be, Baby you know what I mean
So I won’t show you my heartbeat till you love me more

It’s like dreams come true
Can you hear the song birds are singing so gay?
Oh soon you will be my man

Come on baby (There goes my baby)
Come on baby (And ask me now)
Come on baby (Talk like a man)

If your love is meant to be, Baby you know what I mean
Because I want to hear that you say
“Inginkah sikau keluar bersamaku, Gadis?”
Ucaplah oh sayang
Kernakau ku yang punya (Kau yang punya)


「恋のハートビート」
あなたの気持ちに気付いてないとでも思ってるの？
あたしバカじゃないわよ
目と目があった時、何事もなかったようにそっぽ向くあなた
まるで子供ね
学校中の女の子が噂してるわ あなたの本命は誰なのかって
誰も答えを知らないのよ、そう、私以外はね

（焦らすわ）秘密にしときまショ
（まだ焦らすわ）他の男子が好きなフリしときまショ
（もっと焦らすわ）私のこと追いかけてきてヨ

もしあなたの愛が本物なら どういう意味かわかるでしょう
私のハートビートは隠しておくわ
あなたが私のことをもっと愛してくれるまで

まるで夢が現実になったみたい
鳥が楽しそうに歌ってるのが聞こえる？
もうすぐ、あなたは私のもの

カモンベイビー（あの人がやってきた）
カモンベイビー（何か聞いてくるわ）
ドンセイメイビー（男らしくネ）

もしあなたの愛が本物なら どういう意味かわかるでしょ
だってあなたのセリフが聞きたいの
「ヘイガール、一緒にデートしないかい？」 そう言って
だってあなたは私のものだから
（僕は君のものさ）
