want you DARLING
阿部真央
Text

I want to be boastful that you chose me but
I’m not going to be so boorish as to be suspicious of your motives
The words “I love you” that I never believed to be like magic,
I thought maybe I could, just once, give them a try

Hey, how did you melt my heart so easily?
I was perfectly fine all on my own but
I already cannot see myself being separated from you

Darling I want you; I won’t say selfish things
Darling I want you; so stay by my side
If it’s not you, it won’t do

The version of me I only show you and the version of me only you know
Each time you find them I’m happy; I’m rapidly coming free

Hey, don’t say “Shall we go home?” I still want to be with you
Don’t make me sing “I want to see you”
If it’s only me that feels that way, I can’t stand it

Darling I want you; I’m not going to trouble you
Darling I want you; just laugh by my side
Laugh without reservation saying “you’re like a child”
I can’t get separated from you so stay by my side
That spot beside you is mine

Darling I want you; I won’t say selfish things
Darling I want you; so stay by my side
Say if it’s not me, it won’t do

If it’s not you, it won’t do
