This skyscraper’s causing vertigo
– Ko tēnei whare nui e pā ana ki te pōuri
The countdown begins in Tokyo
– Ka tīmata te tatau whakamuri i Tokyo
Twenty-seven days alone means twenty million ways to cope without you
– E rua tekau ma whitu nga ra anake te tikanga e rua tekau miriona nga huarahi hei whakatutuki i te kore koe
I’m in a reckless fever, love-struck girl, I’d tease her
– Kei roto ahau i te werawera poauau, e te kotiro aroha, ka whakahi ahau ki a ia
Thought I’d never be her
– I whakaaro ahau e kore ahau e waiho ia
Quite the job you’ve done on me, sir
– Ko te mahi i mahia e koe ki ahau, e te rangatira
You’ve been hosting parties in my mind
– Kua whakahaerehia e koe nga huihuinga i roto i toku hinengaro
I’m working overtime to have you in my world
– Kei te mahi au i te wa roa ki te whai i a koe i roto i taku ao
Oh, what a curse it is to be a lover girl
– Aue, he aha te kanga ko te ki te waiho i te kotiro aroha
Forced to get creative, wrote my feelings down
– I akina kia auaha, i tuhituhi i aku whakaaro
The independent lady in me’s nowhere to be found
– Ko te wahine motuhake i roto i ahau e kore e kitea
I can’t wait another day to see you
– E kore e taea e ahau te tatari i tetahi atu ra ki te kite ia koe
How embarrassing to be this way
– Kia pehea te whakama ki te kia tenei ara
I’m in a reckless fever, love-struck girl, I’d tease her
– Kei roto ahau i te werawera poauau, e te kotiro aroha, ka whakahi ahau ki a ia
Thought I’d never be her
– I whakaaro ahau e kore ahau e waiho ia
Quite the job you’ve done on me, sir
– Ko te mahi i mahia e koe ki ahau, e te rangatira
You’ve been hosting parties in my mind
– Kua whakahaerehia e koe nga huihuinga i roto i toku hinengaro
I’m working overtime to have you in my world
– Kei te mahi au i te wa roa ki te whai i a koe i roto i taku ao
Oh, what a curse it is to be in love
– Aue, he aha te kanga ki te kia i roto i te aroha
I wait by the phone like a high school movie
– Ka tatari ahau ki te waea pēnei i te kiriata kura tuarua
Dream at the shows, you’ll come runnin’ to me
– Moemoea i nga whakaaturanga, ka haere mai koe ki te rere ki ahau
Think I see you in the wings, God
– Ki taku whakaaro ka kite ahau i a koe i roto i nga parirau, E te Atua
I’m hallucinating
– Kei te whakaaro ahau
What a reckless fever, love-struck girl, I’d tease her
– He aha te werawera poauau, he kotiro aroha, ka whakahi ahau ki a ia
Thought I’d never be her
– I whakaaro ahau e kore ahau e waiho ia
Quite the job you’ve done on me, sir
– Ko te mahi i mahia e koe ki ahau, e te rangatira
You’ve been hosting parties in my mind
– Kua whakahaerehia e koe nga huihuinga i roto i toku hinengaro
I’m working overtime, you’ve become my whole world
– Kei te mahi au i te wa roa, kua riro koe i taku ao katoa
Oh, what a curse it is to be a lover girl
– Aue, he aha te kanga ko te ki te waiho i te kotiro aroha
