  1. 我不会讨好

    I won't try to please you,

  2. 像个宠物般撒娇

    Like a pet showing affection.

  3. 但你付出一分我用十分来抵

    But for every bit you give, I'll give tenfold in return.

  4. 也许我不算太聪明

    Maybe I'm not too clever,

  5. 但爱也不需要处处耍尽心机

    But love doesn't need to be a game of tricks everywhere.

  6. 那又何必

    So why bother?

  7. 我不要求你

    I don't ask you,

  8. 为我改变姓或名

    To change your last name or your first,

  1. 只希望彼此能够诚实而已

    I just hope we can be honest with each other.

  2. 如果你累了就说一句

    If you're tired, just say a word.

  3. 请不要给我所谓你仁慈的客气

    Please don't give me your so-called kind politeness

  4. 那又何必

    Then what's the point?

  5. 我们俩

    Just the two of us

  6. 爱都爱了 又何必讨好

    We've loved, so why try to please?

  7. 错都错了又何必求饶

    We've made mistakes, so why beg for mercy?

  8. 你希望我像一只猫

    You want me to be like a cat

  9. 但你知道我做不到

    But you know I can't do that

  10. 痛都痛了 又何必讨好

    We've felt pain, so why try to please?

  11. 错都错了又何必喧闹

    We've made mistakes, so why cause a fuss?

  12. 如果爱情是场风暴

    If love is a storm

  13. 我们让风停停好不好

    Can we let the wind just pause for a while?

  14. 我不要求你

    I don't ask you

  15. 为我改变姓或名

    To change your last name or first name for me.

  16. 只希望彼此能够诚实而已

    I only hope we can be honest with each other.

  17. 如果你累了就说一句

    If you're tired, just say a word.

  18. 请不要给我所谓你仁慈的客气

    Please don't give me your so-called polite kindness.

  19. 那又何必

    Then what's the point?

  20. 我们俩

    Just the two of us.

  21. 爱都爱了 又何必讨好

    Since we're in love, why try to please?

  22. 错都错了又何必求饶

    Since it's all wrong, why beg for mercy?

  23. 你希望我像一只猫

    You want me to be like a cat,

  24. 但你知道我做不到

    But you know I can't do that.

  25. 痛都痛了 又何必讨好

    If I'm already hurting, why please you?

  26. 错都错了又何必喧闹

    If it's all gone wrong, why make a scene?

  27. 如果爱情是场风暴

    If love is a storm,

  28. 我们让风停停好不好

    Can we let the wind settle down?

  29. 一直吵 一直闹

    Always arguing, always fighting,

  30. 一直放纵这煎熬

    Indulging in this torment nonstop,

  31. 一点点 吞蚀曾有的美好

    Little by little, eroding the beauty we had,

  32. 我不哭 我不闹

    I won't cry, I won't shout.

  33. 我们放过彼此好不好

    Can we just let each other go?

  34. 留一点力气 说再见和拥抱

    Save a little strength for goodbye and embrace.

  35. 爱都爱了 又何必讨好

    We've loved enough, so why seek to please?

  36. 错都错了又何必求饶

    Mistakes have been made, so why beg for mercy?

  37. 你希望我像一只猫

    You wish for me to be like a cat,

  38. 但你知道我做不到

    But you know I can't do that.

  39. 痛都痛了 又何必讨好

    We've felt the pain, so why seek to please?

  40. 错都错了又何必喧闹

    Mistakes have been made, so why make a fuss?

  41. 如果爱情是场风暴

    If love is a storm,

  42. 我们让风停停好不好

    Can we let the wind pause for a moment?

  43. Um 好不好

    Um, how's that?

  44. 好不好 Oh

    How's that, oh?

  45. 好不好

    How's that?
