  1. 贵重财物要好秘密 你就藏在我身

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

  2. 用电话绳箍到颈背敏感

    With a phone cord tightening around my sensitive neck.

  3. 你年年日日继续留下我指纹

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

  4. 你别移动 你好大尘 快用肥皂擦身

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

  5. 就像颈链乖乖跟我贴紧

    Like a necklace, obediently stick close to me.

  6. 我们明明蜜运 宇宙唯独我二人

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

  7. 给你精细的血管 给你精美的五官

    I give you delicate veins, give you exquisite features.

  8. 不等于你需要公开搞试用

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

  1. 给你一柄手枪 不要给你子弹

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

  2. 它会跟你缠绵地沟通

    It will entwine with you, communicating tenderly.

  3. 给你一对手 不等于要拥啊拥

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

  4. 不要拥抱拥到歇斯底里

    Don't hug me to the point of hysteria.

  5. 做到人人乐用 这是承诺你懂不懂?

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

  6. 为何拿甜言蜜语印证你嘴吧有用

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

  7. 别以为长期陪着我会废掉嘴角武功

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

  8. 为何拿眉头额角印证你美色有用

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

  9. 记住潜龙勿用 这样玄妙你懂不懂?

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

  10. 你像财物要守秘密 你就藏在我心

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

  11. 用甚么双手双脚找你新生

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

  12. 以后闲人就勿近 以后宁愿你不是人

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

  13. 给你精细的血管 给你精美的五官

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

  14. 偏要给你给你一颗心跃动

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

  15. 给你一柄手枪 给你一发子弹

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

  16. 不等于要放进谁的胸

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

  17. 给你一对手 偏要给你拥啊拥

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

  18. 所以抵你抵你歇斯底里

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

  19. 誓要人人乐用 有用无用你懂不懂?

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

  20. 为何拿甜言蜜语印证你嘴吧有用

    Why use sweet words to prove your lips hold value?

  21. 别以为长期陪着我会废掉嘴角武功

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

  22. 为何拿眉头额角印证你美色有用

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

  23. 记住潜龙勿用 这样玄妙你懂不懂?

    Remember the hidden dragon, can you grasp this mystery?

  24. 给你精细的血管 给你精美的五官

    Giving you delicate veins, granting you exquisite features,

  25. 偏要给你给你一颗心跃动

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

  26. 给你一柄手枪 给你一发子弹

    Providing you a handgun, giving you a bullet,

  27. 不等于要放进谁的胸

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

  28. 给你一对手 偏要给你拥啊拥

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

  29. 所以抵你抵你歇斯底里

    So it clashes with you, driving you to despair,

  30. 誓要人人乐用 有用无用你懂不懂?

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