Machijuu dokodemo uso bakari
Hyakunenmae kara shouchi da yo
Imasara akikan keru kurai
Dare demo dekiru
Ai wa nagusame no
Dougu nanka ja nai n da shi
Dame dame dame de dame na hito ne
Ittai nani wo yatteru no?
Un ja nai tsuki ja nai
Motto jitsuryoku misete
Dame dame dame ne onna wa mou
Sonna otoko ja kanjinai
Itsu date kurakura to kisou na hodo
Otoko ni natte choudai
Hito wa dare demo kizutsuite
Ookiku naru mono deshou?
Taaoretemo mata haiagaru
Sore demo dame nara sono toki
Atashi ga dakishimete ageru kara
Ii ja nai no yo
Dame dame dame de dame na hito ne
Ittai nani wo yatteru no?
Kono tsugi wa tsuyoi toko?
Motto kicchiri misete
Dame dame dame ne onna wa mou
Sonna otoko ja horenai yo
Itsu datte kura kura to kisou no hodo
Otoko ni natte choudai
There are lies everywhere in the city
I knew about it since a century ago
Anyone can kick
Empty cans now
Love isn't
A tool for compassion
A person who can't do anything
What are you doing?
Not luck, not fortune
Show more of the ability
No no no, a woman won't
Feel for that man anymore
Become a man that
I will always fall for
All people should grow
By being hurt, right?
Stand up if you fall
And if that doesn't work, then
I will hold you
So it's okay
A person who can't do anything
What are you doing?
Next time, show me
How strong you are
No no no, a woman won't feel for
A man like that anymore
Become a man that
I will always fall for

Not luck, not fortune

No no no, a woman won't
Feel for that man anymore
Become a man that
I will always fall for
You called me
Out of your own selfishness and sighing
Can't enjoy at all
Such a pathetic face
Being satisfied with a light love
Will end it all
You're so lazy
I don't have time for that
If I say it straight
I hate people without dreams
Believe in yourself
Till the very close call
If that feeling isn't an accessory
Show me the man in you
All people should grow
By being hurt, right?
Stand up if you fall
And if that doesn't work, then
I will hold you
So it's okay
A person who can't do anything
