The Ready Set:love like woe¹

英文歌词

Whoa-oh, oh, oh.

 

 
Whoa-oh, oh, oh.
I kinda feel like it don't make sense.

I'm thinking baby, you and I are undeniable
But I'm finding out love's unreliable.
I'm giving all I got to make you stay.
Or am I just a roadblock in your way?
 
'Cause you're a pretty little wind storm out on the boulevard.
Something like a sunset,
Oh, you're a shooting star.
And I might drive myself insane,
If those lips aren't speaking my name.
 
'Cause I've got some intuition
Or maybe I'm superstitious²,
But I think you're a pretty sweet pill that I'm swallowing down
To counter this addiction³.
You got me on a mission.
Tell me, darling, can I get a break somehow?
 
(How) could I say no?
She's got a love like woe. (whoa-oh, oh, oh)
Girl's got a love like woe. (la da da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again.
Love so strong, then you moved on.
Now I'm hung up in suspense⁴,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again.
 
It's like a hurricane, speed train
She's a moving car.
Catch her in the fast line,
Oh, I gotta know:
Can I keep up with her pace?
Kick it into gear when I see that face.
 
You can take up all my time 'cause you're the only one
That can make a storm cloud break, pulling out the sun.
And I can't get caught in the rain.
Can I get your lips to speak my name?
 
'Cause I've got some intuition-
Or maybe I'm superstitious,
But I think you're a pretty sweet pill that I'm swallowing down
To counter this addiction.
You got me on a mission.
Tell me, darling, can I get a break somehow?
 
(How) could I say no?
She's got a love like woe. (whoa-oh, oh, oh)
Girl's got a love like woe. (la da da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again.
Love so strong, then you moved on.

 

 

Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again.
 
'Cause we only have one life.
The timing⁵ and the moment all seem just right.
So would you say you're mine?
(We'll be just fine.)
Would you say you're mine?
(We'll be just fine.)
 
She's got a love like woe. (whoa-oh, oh, oh)
Girl's got a love like woe. (la da da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again.
Love so strong, then you moved on.
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again.
 
She's got a love like woe. (whoa-oh, oh, oh)
Girl's got a love like woe. (la da da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again.
Love so strong, then you moved on.
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again.
