  1. 贵重财物要好秘密

    Precious treasures must be kept secret, you hide within me.

  2. 电话敏感

    With a phone cord tightening around my sensitive neck.

  3. 继续留下指纹

    Year after year, day after day, you leave me your fingerprints.

  4. 移动 你好 肥皂擦身

    Don't you move, you're so dusty, quickly wash yourself with soap.

  5. 就像乖乖贴紧

    Like a necklace, obediently stick close to me.

  6. 我们明明 宇宙二人

    We clearly have a sweet affair, just us in the universe.

  7. 精细血管 精美五官

    I give you delicate veins, give you exquisite features.

  8. 等于需要公开试用

    Doesn't mean you need to publicly test it out.

  9. 手枪 不要子弹

    I give you a handgun, but no bullets to fire.

  10. 缠绵沟通

    It will entwine with you, communicating tenderly.

  11. 对手 等于

    Giving you a pair of hands doesn't mean I want to embrace you fiercely,

  12. 不要拥抱拥到歇斯底里

    Don't hug me to the point of hysteria.

  13. 做到人人 承诺不懂?

    Strive for everyone's joy, that's a promise, do you understand?

  14. 为何甜言蜜语印证有用

    Why use sweet words to prove that your lips hold value?

  15. 以为长期废掉嘴角武功

    Don't think that long-term companionship will waste your charms.

  16. 为何眉头印证美色有用

    Why use your brows and skin to prove that your beauty is effective?

  17. 记住 这样玄妙不懂?

    Remember, the hidden dragon won’t strike, do you understand this mystery?

  18. 财物秘密

    You, like a treasure, must keep secrets; you hide within my heart.

  19. 双手新生

    What hands and feet will I use to seek your rebirth?

  20. 以后 以后宁愿不是

    From now on, let the idle stay away; I’d rather you weren’t human.

  21. 精细血管 精美五官

    I give you delicate veins, I give you exquisite features,

  22. 偏要一颗

    Yet I must give you a heart that's alive and stirring.

  23. 手枪 子弹

    I give you a pistol, I give you a bullet,

  24. 等于放进

    But that doesn't mean it’s to be lodged in someone’s chest.

  25. 对手 偏要

    I give you a pair of hands, I just want to hold you tight,

  26. 所以歇斯底里

    So you confront me, so you break down in despair.

  27. 人人 有用无用不懂?

    Vowing to be useful, useful or not, do you understand?

  28. 为何甜言蜜语印证有用

    Why use sweet words to prove your lips hold value?

  29. 以为长期废掉嘴角武功

    Don't think that being by my side will dull your charm,

  30. 为何眉头印证美色有用

    Why use your furrowed brows and temples to prove your beauty holds worth?

  31. 记住 这样玄妙不懂?

    Remember the hidden dragon, can you grasp this mystery?

  32. 精细血管 精美五官

    Giving you delicate veins, granting you exquisite features,

  33. 偏要一颗

    But I must give you a heart that beats with fervor,

  34. 手枪 子弹

    Providing you a handgun, giving you a bullet,

  35. 等于放进

    Doesn't mean it has to find a home in someone's chest,

  36. 对手 偏要

    Giving you a pair of hands, yet I insist you embrace,

  37. 所以歇斯底里

    So it clashes with you, driving you to despair,

  38. 人人 有用无用不懂?

    Swearing everyone can use it, whether it's useful or not, do you understand?
