(Ooh-wah!)

Nande sonna ni

(My girl!)
(Ooh-wah, ooh!)
(All right, all right!)


(Ooh-wah!)

Why do you keep forcing yourself
To act like you're having fun?
Your eyelids must be
About to explode from the strain.

Do you think that forcing yourself
To have fun will make it better? [1]
It just makes it much worse,
And yet you still hold back your sighs.

I want to take off that shirt of pride you're wearing.
Oh! Yeah!
Show me your naked vulnerability.
Oh! No, no, no!

Ah! A glass sun --
You keep soldiering on:
The buttons of your smile are coming undone.

Ah! It's OK to look bad;
Throw away your cracked veneer of high spirits
Until the day
When, yes, your eyes can shed tears.

Lady, sometimes you
Just have to admit defeat.
Sometimes you only find the answer
After you take a break.

When we get dirty,
Oh! Yeah!
We all discover true strength in the process.
Oh! No, no, no!

Ah! A glass sun --
You keep soldiering on.
The buttons of your smile
Are coming undone.

Ah! Try complaining for once,
Until the day
When, yes, your lips can smile;
There's no need to be stubborn.

In this world that's full of
Pretty annoying things,
There is no perfect hero --
I know, know, know, know, know, know...!

Ah! A glass sun, you keep soldiering on
The buttons of your smile
Are coming undone

Ah! It's OK to look bad;
Throw away your cracked veneer of high spirits
Until the day
When, yes, your eyes can shed tears.

(My girl!)
(Ooh-wah, ooh!)
(All right, all right!)
