收心操 年纪也不小
Calming the heart, I'm not so young anymore,
爱著你 再也不想讨价还价
Loving you, I no longer want to bargain,
我想我快要变成你家的猫
I think I’m about to become your house cat,
看不出当年浪子 那金不换
Can't see the once wild youth, worth more than gold,
周末窝在家
Spending the weekend cozy at home,
耳边听你絮絮叨叨
Listening to you chattering in my ear,
定下来是种逞强 大胆挑战
Settling down feels like a show of strength, a bold challenge,
感情债该还都还 欠的耍赖
Love debts should be repaid, can't play coy,
为什么妥协? 说来奇怪
Why compromise? It's quite strange,
绝不是你的厨艺好那样简单
It's definitely not just your cooking that's so good.
收心操 年纪也不小
Settling down, I'm not so young anymore
曾经多害怕地久天长
Once, I was so afraid of forever
谈恋爱 就像除尘螨
Dating feels like dusting off the mites
孤单总是杀不完 又死灰复燃
Loneliness never ends, it just rekindles
收心操 没有人知道
Settling down, nobody knows
身边这个人愿不愿意陪我到老 往后日子再无聊
Will this person by my side stay with me till old age, even if the days ahead are dull?
爱你 再也不想讨价还价
Loving you, I no longer want to bargain
这样子很好
This feels so good
大伙们另眼相看 不免嘲笑
Everyone looks at us differently, and can't help but laugh
前女友来吃喜酒 几桌才好?
Ex-girlfriend comes to the wedding feast, how many tables will do?
以前不可靠
In the past, I was unreliable
才懂珍惜你这么好
Only then did I learn to cherish how wonderful you are
没把握胜任 当个爱人模范
Not sure I can excel at being a model lover
但是我遇见了你 就戒掉了快闪
But when I met you, I quit the fleeting romances
越接近幸福 我越不安
The closer I get to happiness, the more uneasy I feel
常扪心自问 "凭什么让你愉快?"
I often ask myself, 'What gives me the right to make you happy?'
我戒烟 夜也不熬 想变得更好
I quit smoking, no late nights, wanting to become better
收心操 没有人知道
My heart’s in training, but no one knows
身边这个人愿不愿意陪我到老 往后日子再无聊
Is this person beside me willing to grow old together, even if future days are dull?
爱你 再也不想讨价还价
I love you, no more bargaining for my heart
曾经多害怕地久天长
Once, I was so afraid of forever
谈恋爱 就像除尘螨
Falling in love is like dusting away the mites
孤单总是杀不完 死灰复燃
Loneliness never seems to end, it just rekindles
收心操 其实我知道
I know deep down, it's a heart-stopping game
身边的你 如果点头愿意陪我到老 一定不无聊
You by my side, if you nod to grow old with me, it'll never be dull
爱你 有的没的 再也不想
Loving you, all the extras, I don’t want anymore
这样子就好
This is all I need
Hey
