突然のキスや 熱いまなざしで
With a sudden kiss and burning gaze,
恋のプログラムを 狂わせないでね
Don't let the love program go astray.
出逢いと別れ 上手に打ち込んで
Skillfully weaving through meeting and parting,
時間がくれば 終わる don't hurry!
When the time comes, it ends, don't hurry!
愛に傷ついた あの日からずっと
Since that day when love left me scarred,
昼と夜が逆の 暮らしを続けて
Continuing a life where day and night are swapped,
はやりのdiscoで 踊り明かすうちに
As I dance till dawn in the trendy disco,
おぼえた魔術なのよ I'm sorry!
It's a magic I’ve learned, I'm sorry!

Never fall truly in love with me,
恋なんてただのゲーム 楽しめばそれでいいの
Love is just a game, as long as we enjoy it, that's fine.
閉ざした心を飾る 派手なドレスも靴も
Adorned with flashy dresses and shoes to hide my closed heart,
孤独な友だち
A lonely friend,
私を誘う人は皮肉なものね
The ones who invite me are quite ironic,
いつも彼に似てるわ
They always remind me of him,
なぜか思い出と重なり合う
For some reason, they overlap with my memories.
グラスを落として急に涙ぐんでも
Even if I drop my glass and suddenly tear up,
わけは尋ねないでね
Don't ask me the reason, please.
夜更けの高速で 眠りにつくころ
As I drift into sleep on the highway late at night,
ハロゲンライトだけ 妖しく輝く
Only the halogen lights shine mysteriously.
氷のように冷たい女だと
Even if they whisper I'm a cold woman like ice,
ささやく声がしても don't worry!
Don't worry about it!
I'm just playing games, I know that's plastic love
Dance to the plastic beat, another morning comes
I'm just playing games, I know that's plastic love
Dance to the plastic beat, another morning comes
I'm just playing games, I know that's plastic love
Dance to the plastic beat, another morning comes
I'm just playing games, I know-
