Kupu Tūpato
I get funny when you’re around me
– Ka ngahau ahau ina noho koe ki ahau
We always do dumb shit and piss everybody off
– Ka mahi tonu mātou i te mea poauau ka riri i te katoa
Tell me where you’ll be and I’ll leave my own party
– Korero mai ki ahau kei hea koe, ka waiho e ahau taku ake rōpū
It’s probably a problem if it’s this hard to stop
– He raruraru pea mēnā he uaua ki te whakamutu
Now it’s causing lots of issues with my baby at home
– Na he maha nga take e pa ana ki taku tamaiti i te kainga
‘Cause in every single picture we’re a little too close
– ‘Na te mea i roto i ia pikitia kotahi he iti rawa to tatou tata
And I love you but I wanna and it’s making me feel unsure
– A e aroha ana ahau ki a koe engari e hiahia ana ahau ā e kore ai ahau e tino mōhio
So I can’t have you around me anymore
– Na e kore e taea e ahau te whai koe a tawhio noa ahau ake
Somehow, we always end up naked
– I ētahi ara, ka mutu tahanga tonu mātou
Nothing ever happens, but it still feels real good
– Kāore he mea e tupu, engari he tino pai tonu
And I wish she didn’t, but I see why she hates it
– A, ko taku hiahia kia kaua ia e mahi, engari ka kite ahau he aha ia i kino ai ki a ia
She wants to be the only one who’s allowed to look
– E hiahia ana ia kia waiho ko ia anake e whakaaetia ana kia titiro
It’s the root of every issue, it’s the reason we fight
– Ko te pakiaka o ia take, ko te take i whawhai ai mātou
And I don’t wanna have to choose, but I’m taking a side
– A kaore au e hiahia ki te whiriwhiri, engari kei te tango ahau i tetahi taha
‘Cause if it isn’t me, it’s her who’s gonna close that door
– ‘No te mea ki te kore ahau, ko ia te tangata e kati i taua tatau
So I can’t have you around me anymore (Oh-oh)
– Na e kore e taea e ahau te whai koe a tawhio noa ahau ake (Oh-oh)
There’s places we went that I’ll keep to myself
– He wāhi i haere ai mātou ka noho tonu ahau ki ahau
And you got to know me a little too well (Oh-oh)
– A ka koe ki te mohio ki ahau he iti rawa pai (Oh-oh)
But she’ll never be someone I wish that I didn’t know, mm (Oh-oh)
– Engari kaore ia e waiho hei tangata e hiahia ana ahau kia kore au e mohio, mm (Oh-oh)
And she’ll never be you, but she keeps me on course
– A e kore ia e waiho i a koe, engari e pupuri ana ia i ahau i runga i te akoranga
And I’m not supposed to wonder if I should be yours
– A e kore ahau e whakaaro ki te kia ahau tou
So I can’t have you around me anymore
– Na e kore e taea e ahau te whai koe a tawhio noa ahau ake
