Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
– Aue, i mate noa ahau i roto i o ringaringa i tenei po
It must have been something you said
– He mea pea i korerotia e koe
I just died in your arms tonight
– I mate noa ahau i roto i o ringaringa i tenei po
I keep looking for something I can’t get
– Kei te rapu tonu ahau i tetahi mea kaore e taea e au
Broken hearts lie all around me
– Ko ngā ngākau pakaru kei te taha katoa o ahau
And I don’t see an easy way to get out of this
– A e kore ahau e kite i te ara ngāwari ki te tiki i roto i tenei
Her diary it sits by the bedside table
– Ko tōna pukapuka kei te taha o te tēpu moenga
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
– Kua katia nga pihi, nga ngeru i roto i te moenga
Who would’ve thought that a boy like me could come to this?
– Ko wai i whakaaro ka taea e tētahi tamaiti pēnei i ahau te haere mai ki tēnei?
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
– Aue, i mate noa ahau i roto i o ringaringa i tenei po

It must’ve been some kind of kiss

I should’ve walked away
– Me haere atu ahau
I should’ve walked away
– Me haere atu ahau
Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
– He reira tetahi take tika mō te mana’o rite tenei?
On the surface I’m a name on a list
– I runga i te mata he ingoa ahau i runga i te rārangi
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
– Ka ngana ahau kia tupato, engari ka pupuhi ano
I’ve lost and found, it’s my final mistake
– Kua ngaro ahau, kua kitea, ko taku hapa whakamutunga
She’s loving by proxy, no give and all take
– He aroha ia mā te māngai, kāore he hoatu, he tango katoa
‘Cause I’ve been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
– ‘No te mea kua tino harikoa ahau ki te whakaaro kotahi i nga wa maha
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
– Aue, i mate noa ahau i roto i o ringaringa i tenei po
It must’ve been something you said
– Me kua reira te tahi mea ka mea koe
I just died in your arms tonight

It was a long hot night
– He pō roa wera
And she made it easy, she made it feel right
– Na ka hanga e ia te reira ngāwari, hanga e ia te reira fe tika
But now it’s over, the moment has gone
– Engari inaianei kua mutu, kua pahemo te wā
I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong
– I whai ahau i oku ringa ehara i toku mahunga, e mohio ana ahau he he ahau
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
– Aue, i mate noa ahau i roto i o ringaringa i tenei po
It must’ve been something you said
– Me kua reira te tahi mea ka mea koe
I just died in your arms tonight
– I mate noa ahau i roto i o ringaringa i tenei po
I, I just died in your arms tonight
– I mate ahau i roto i o koutou ringa i tenei po
It must’ve been some kind of kiss
– He kihi pea
I should’ve walked away
– Me haere atu ahau
I should’ve walked away
– Me haere atu ahau
