旧工作 旧话题 旧样子留到明早
Old job, old topics, old looks saved for tomorrow morning
气氛好 心情好 精神好 脸才不长包
Good vibes, good mood, good spirit, that’s how no pimples appear
想重来 想重新 想继续自我改造
Want to start over, want a redo, wish to continue my self-reinvention
不忽略 不放过 不漏掉每一根汗毛
Don’t ignore, don’t let slip, not missing a single hair's worth of sweat
修指甲 修胡子 修眉毛 修掉烦恼
Doing my nails, shaving my beard, grooming my brows, shedding my worries
小男孩 小男人 小白脸 我没有听到
Little boy, little man, pretty boy, I didn’t catch that
为身材 为拍照 为臭美付出不少
For my body, for the photos, I invest quite a lot in vanity
我的胃 我的腿 我的脸再瘦点多好
My stomach, my legs, how great it'd be if my face were a bit thinner
没时间睡觉 没功夫睡觉
No time to sleep, no luxury to rest
照镜子也算有一点爱好
Even looking in the mirror counts as a bit of a hobby
和自己比较 和昨天比较
Comparing myself, comparing to yesterday
新衣服再多 我都嫌太少
No matter how many new clothes I have, I still find them too few
太普通 太时髦 太复杂 太一边倒
So ordinary, so trendy, too complicated, too one-sided
我爱美不止是图有外表
My love for beauty goes beyond just the surface
新皮带 新香水 新手表每天一套
New belt, new perfume, a new watch, every day a fresh set
气氛好 心情好 精神好 对自己要好
Good vibes, good mood, good spirit, treat myself well
为身材 为拍照 为臭美付出多少
For my figure, for the photos, how much to spend on vanity
我的胃 我的腿 我的脸 我自己知道
My stomach, my legs, my face, I know it all
没时间睡觉 没功夫睡觉
No time to sleep, no leisure to sleep
照镜子也算有一点爱好
Even looking in the mirror counts as a little hobby
和自己比较 和昨天比较
Compare with myself, compare with yesterday.
新衣服再多 我都嫌太少
No matter how many new clothes I have, I still feel it's too few.
没时间睡觉 没功夫睡觉
No time to sleep, no energy to sleep.
照镜子也算有一点爱好
Even looking in the mirror counts as a little hobby.
别看我微笑 我也有烦恼
Don't be fooled by my smile, I have worries too.
双眼皮再大 我都嫌太小
No matter how big my double eyelids are, I still feel they're too small.
太普通 太时髦 太复杂 太一边倒
Too ordinary, too trendy, too complicated, too one-sided.
我爱美不止是图有外表
I love beauty not just for the looks.
不止是图有外表
Not just for the looks.
再瘦点多好
How great it would be to be a little thinner.
我都嫌太少
I think it's all too little
我自己知道
I know it myself
