Red-light Lover
[Verse 1]
Take a long hard look at the neon signs
You're lookin' tired, sweet dear, won't you come inside?
Take the load off, drop a couple thousand yen
Pick your date, so many, let the fun begin
I'm a Casanova with a track record of a couple
Young lovers from many moonlights ago
It's such a shame I'm such a heartbreaker
Could have had a good life, but Luci's my puppeteer
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Who am I to you tonight?
For you, I'm your loverboy from Japan
[Chorus]
Make some time, won't you stay with us?
Have some wine, introduce me to your life
Tell me how your day's been, has it been nice?
No matter what you think of me, it's no surprise
That I'm your boyfriend for hire
It's all about to end when our date expires
The night is still young, we can go for longer
For only you I can be your red-light lover
Talk to me, baby
[Verse 2]
Payments under my belt
I could really use help
It's no secret I'm not welcomed, but I work for myself
See me every night, make me your delight
Lipstick markings on my collar
But why even bother?
You don't really love me, it's a game, it's a mere façade
Our night's a big performance
Can't you hear the crowds applaud?
It's an act, baby, don't you see? it's all a lie
A mere service to give you some fantasy tonight
I'm only speaking into shame 'cause I've been around
We're well aware you're only here tonight for fun in town
Even if it hurts, long as I'm feelin' something, I'm alright
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now, who am I to you tonight?
I'm still your red-light lover for another hour
All you have to do is pay the fee
[Chorus]
Make some time, won't you stay with us?
Have some wine, introduce me to your life
Tell me how your day's been, has it been nice?
No matter what you think of me, it's no surprise
That I'm your boyfriend for hire
It's all about to end when our date expires
The night is still young, we can go for longer
For only you I can be your red-light lover
Now baby, you don't have to leave so soon...
You can stay for as long as you'd like
It's no problem with me
What? You're all out of money?
That's fine! My boss doesn't have to know
Trust me, the drinks are on me
I'm not saying I'm gonna miss you
But it does get really lonely
Many faces come and go
And they all pay good money
But you're special, I promise you that
Wait...Baby, wait!
Please don't leave me!
Please don't leave me!
Please don't leave me!
You can stay for free!
Babygirl, please don't leave me!
Please don't leave me!
Please don't leave me!
Baby...please don't fucking leave me!
[Outro (ALBUM VERSION)]
でもあたしだけの人が
あたしだけを好きになってくれたら
それがあたしだけの人と
あたしのお別れの時だ
それでもあたしは
あたしだけの人に会いたい
そう思いながら
あたしは今日も誰もいない町を行く
[ENGLISH TRANSLATION:]
But if the one that’s meant for me
Should happen to one day fall in love with me
That would be the moment I will have to leave
With the one that is for me, and only me
Still, I would like to meet the one that’s meant for me
That is what will be on my mind
As I walk alone in this empty town
