  1. 背中のあいたドレス こぼれてしまいそうなイヤリング

    A dress with an open back, earrings that seem about to fall off

  2. 乱れた髪 一筋もない

    My hair is a mess, not a strand in place

  3. おどけたとりまき達 私が笑わないのを

    The teasing entourage looks at me, surprised that I'm not laughing

  4. 不思議な目をして見ているわ

    With their curious eyes, they're watching me

  5. Dress down 早く見つけてよ (I'm just your babe)

    Dress down, find me quickly (I'm just your babe)

  6. そんなコにかまって つまらないはずだわ

    Getting involved with such a girl must be boring, right?

  7. Dress down 域が止まる程 (I'm lovin', lovin' it)

    Dress down, to the point where time stands still (I'm lovin', lovin' it)

  8. 見つめられたくって

    I want to be gazed upon

  1. Please tell me, tell me why?

  2. ブルーに揺れるライト あなたが近付いてくる

    The blue lights sway as you draw near

  3. あわてたつま先もてあます

    My flustered toes can hardly contain themselves

  4. 不機嫌にさせてくれて ありがとうって切り出したら

    When I thank you for making me feel grumpy and start talking

  5. あなたは素敵に微笑んだ

    You smiled so beautifully

  6. Dress down わざとかき上げる (I'm just your babe)

    Dress down, teasingly I toss my hair (I'm just your babe)

  7. 髪の香りさえもはかられた誘惑

    Even the scent of your hair is a measured temptation

  8. Dress down あなたが私に (I'm lovin', lovin' it)

    Dress down, you give it all to me (I'm lovin', lovin' it)

  9. 夢中になる前に

    Before I lose myself in this

  10. I'm melting, melting, melting, melting you

  11. Dress down わざとかき上げる (I'm just your babe)

    Dress down, teasingly I toss my hair (I'm just your babe)

  12. 髪の香りさえもはかられた誘惑

    Even the scent of your hair is a measured temptation

  13. Dress down わざとはみ出した (I'm lovin', lovin' it)

    Dress down, pushing the boundaries (I'm lovin', lovin' it)

  14. 口紅の魔力で

    With the magic of my lipstick

  15. I'm waiting, waiting for you

  16. Dress down あなたが私に (I'm lovin', lovin' it)

    Dress down, you to me (I'm lovin', lovin' it)

  17. 夢中になる前に

    Before I become entranced

  18. I'm melting, melting, melting, melting you
