怪前任多么坏 怪生活多难挨
Blame the ex for being so cruel, blame life for being so tough
怪桃花开太晚 一个人好精彩
Blame the peach blossoms for blooming too late, being single is still quite a show
只是这男子汉 心思比谁都软
But this guy, his heart is softer than anyone else's
不承认又感叹 活得像颗海胆
Deny it, yet sigh, living like a sea urchin
Hey 身价 暴跌后又涨停
Hey, my worth plunged, then soared again
当孤傲的狼 不必守规矩
As a proud wolf, no need to follow the rules
没有宵禁 甭跟谁呕气
No curfew, no need to hold grudges with anyone
风流 像在补偿自己
Flirting, like a way to compensate for myself
上个女主人 欠我的感性
The last mistress owes me some sentimentality
何时脱单 暂时还不急
When will I shed my single status? For now, there's no rush
忘了回到家 对著空冰箱 抱酒瓶哭整晚
Forgot to go home, staring at the empty fridge, crying over a bottle all night.
还是哥们拖著我出门去
Still, my buddy drags me out the door.
忘了三十几 雄性激素
Forgot about being in my thirties, testosterone.
早就抵消不了 深夜的孤寂
Long ago it couldn’t ease the loneliness of midnight.
怪前任多么坏 怪生活多难挨
Blame the ex for being so cruel, blame life for being tough.
怪桃花开太晚 一个人好精彩
Blame the blooming peach blossoms that came too late, being alone is quite a sight.
只是这男子汉 心思比谁都软
But this manly guy, his heart is softer than anyone else’s.
不承认又感叹 活得像颗海胆
Not admitting it but sighing, living like a sea urchin.
商人 教唆一人经济
The merchant incites an economy of one.
我背著背包 饭店不会订
Carrying my backpack, I won’t book a hotel.
她的蜜月 最后去哪里
Where did her honeymoon finally go?
算命 后年很多艳遇
Fortune telling says many romances await in the coming years.
可我会不会 更渴望家庭
But will I yearn even more for a family?
翘二郎腿 看无脑综艺
Crossing my legs, watching mindless variety shows.
假装玩得起 千山我独行 带利刺别靠近
Pretending to play it cool, I roam the mountains alone; sharp thorns, don’t get too close.
辜负只是对爱严重过敏
Disappointment is just a severe allergy to love.
假装二十几 胶原蛋白
Pretending to be in my twenties, full of collagen.
还不是会拆穿 并没有神迹
But the truth will still come out; there’s no miracle here.
怪前任多么坏 怪生活多难挨
Blaming my ex for being so bad, blaming life for being so hard.
怪桃花开太晚 一个人好精彩
Blaming the late bloom of love; being alone can be so exciting.
只是这男子汉 心思比谁都软
But this man’s heart is softer than anyone else’s
不承认又感叹 活得像颗海胆
Denying it yet sighing, living like a sea urchin
忘了回到家 对著空冰箱 抱酒瓶哭整晚
Forgot to get home, staring at an empty fridge, crying all night with a bottle
还是哥们拖著我出门去
Still, my buddy drags me out the door
忘了三十几 雄性激素
Forgotten in my thirties, testosterone fading away
早就抵消不了 深夜的孤寂
Can't drown out the late-night loneliness any longer
怪前任多么坏 怪生活多难挨 (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Blaming my ex for being so cruel, blaming life for being tough (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
怪桃花开太晚 一个人好精彩 (yeah)
Blaming the blossoms for blooming too late, being alone feels so vivid (yeah)
只是这男子汉 心思比谁都软 (whoa-whoa, hi-ya-ya-ya)
But this man’s heart is softer than anyone else’s (whoa-whoa, hi-ya-ya-ya)
不承认又感叹 活得像颗海胆 (ah! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Denying it yet sighing, living like a sea urchin (ah! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
