Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
(Ah) 綺麗に今日もキメちゃって	(Ah) kirei ni kyou mo kime chatte
だからね　濡らさないで	dakara ne nurasanai de
見上げた　顔にかけないで	miageta kao ni kakenai de
突然の夕暮れ　rainy	totsuzen no yuugure rainy

寒いわ　水は嫌いよ	samui wa mizu wa kirai yo
拭って　あなたの手で	nugutte anata no te de
どうして　肝心な時に	doushite kanjin na toki ni
居ない人なの	inai hito nano

I need 愛情　あなたの傍　ひざの上	I need aijou anata no soba hiza no ue
I my me mine　私は　まっしぐら	I my me mine watashi wa masshigura

「あなた」って陽だまり目指し	"anata" tte hidamari mezashi
そう私は気まぐれ lady	sou watashi wa kimagure lady
なのにあなたは　どこにも居やしないや	nano ni anata wa doko ni mo iya shinai ya

涙ってこれは雨でしょ	namidatte kore wa ame desho
寒空のモノクロ lonely	samuzora no monokuro lonely
早く見つけて　「ごめんね」と傘を広げて	hayaku mitsukete "gomen ne" to kasa o hirogete

晴れ後雨宿り今　花咲く一つ屋根の下で	hare nochi amayadori ima hanasaku hitotsu yane no shite de
夢の中　lalalalalalala...	yume no naka lalalalalalala...

(Ah) 折れてるあの子の耳	(Ah) oreteru ano ko no mimi
小言も聞こえないって	kogoto mo kikoenaitte
お願い　今だけ貸して	onegai ima dake kashite
叱らないで　ぐだぐだ darling	shikaranaide gudaguda darling

怒った顔は嫌いよ	okotta kao wa kirai yo
笑った顔も嫌いよ	waratta kao mo kirai yo
そもそも好みじゃないの	somosomo konomi ja nai no
でも　愛して	demo aishite

You need 友愛　そういう気持ちが大事	You need yuuai souiu kimochi ga daiji
You live for me　心にまっしぐら	You live for me kokoro ni masshigura

素直って我侭のこと？	sunaotte wagamama no koto?

たまには甘えたいのよ	tama niwa amaetai no yo
受け止めて　憧れ lady	uketomete akogare lady
なのにあなたは　私を分かってないや	nanoni anata wa watashi o wakatte nai ya

恋だっていつか冷めるわ	koi datte itsuka sameru wa
さよならね　涙目 maybe	sayonara ne namidame maybe
ドアを開ければそこに広がる「今日も雨」	doa wo akereba soko ni hirogaru "kyou mou ame"

止まない雨が降るなら　このまま一つ屋根の下で	yamanai ame ga furu nara kono mama hitotsu yane no shita de
いつまでも　lalalalalalala...	itsumademo lalalalalalala...

I say nya-o　あなたの傍で	I say nya-o anata no soba de
I say nya-o　あなたの腕で	I say nya-o anata no ude de
I say nya-o　あなたの名前さえ	I say nya-o anata no namae sae
どうしてうまく言えないのかな...	doushite umaku ienai no ka na...

I did myself up special again today
So please don't get me wet
As I look up, don't drip on my face
This suddenly rainy evening

I'm cold; I hate water
I want you to dry me off
Why are you never here
When I need you?

I need love close to you; on your lap
I, my, me, mine; I'm all in

Heading for "you", my patch of sunlight
That's right, I'm a fickle lady
Yet you're nowhere to be found

Tears? No, this is just rain
Monochrome loneliness under a cold sky
Find me, spread your umbrella, and tell me you're sorry

The forecast calls for sunshine and shelter from the rain; under a roof of blooming flowers
Dreaming away, lalalalalalala...

Do me a favor and lend me
That cat's flappy ears
So I can't hear your fussing
Don't drone on scolding me, darling

I hate how you look when you're mad
I hate how you look when you smile, too
You're not really my type in the first place
But love me anyway

You need compassion; that's an important feeling
You live for me; your heart's all in

Does honesty always mean selfishness?
Hey, I'm your beloved lady
So forgive me: I'm not at fault

I'm the one who won't flatter you
Kindness conflicts with my identity
I can't bring myself to say it, so don't expect an "I'm sorry"

If you've still got "it" in your heart, I shouldn't have to spell it out for you
With words like "Love" and "Passion"

If you have delicious food, then I'll stay with you
If there's a funny show on TV, then I'll watch it with you
If your bed is warm, then I'll sleep beside you
What more do you want? I'll hear you out

I'm a lady who longs for you to accept
That I just want to be spoiled sometimes
Yet you don't understand me

Passions always cool off
Maybe this is a teary goodbye
Opening the door, it's "More rain today"

If it never stops, I want to be under the same roof
Forever, lalalalalalala...

I say meow-o by your side
I say meow-o in your arms
I say meow-o but
Why can't I say your name?
