Rescue me
Kyou mo machi ni dete
Mie no hariai kare no jimanbanashi
Subete warikiri ga kanjin da ne tte
Kanari kiraku shugi desho
Kare no mae dewa tatemae no daietto
Terebi nyuusu wa mukanshin
Sorosoro watashi yabai kana?
Yasashii otoko nara hoka ni takusan iru shi
Rukkusu juushi nara aisouwarai de get you
Mezatoi furi wo shite hontou wa ikuji nashi no
Sabishigariya dakara
Sonna watashi wo rescue me
Itsuka yume miteru
Niwazuki maihoomu toka gaisha da toka...

Risou dake wa itsu demo ichininmae de
Sotsugyou shitara shuushoku hitori kurashi
Shokuji wa soto de sumasu kara
Kicchin dougu wa iranai
Itsuka kekkon shite kodomo dekita to shitara
Kinjo no obasan to yobareru hi ga kuru no
Dorama to wa chigau ne yume ni egaku renai
Hodo tooi shiawase
Sonna watashi wo rescue me
Oya no tame ni wa ii ko de irareru you ni
Doryoku wo shitemo karamawari
Kitai ni kotaerarenai no
Fukuzatsu na shakai ni otona wa kokitsukaware
Iranai kyouyou to chishiki ni oborete iru
Junsui na kokoro wa wasurezu ni itai kara
Douka misutenaide ne
Sonna jidai ni rescue me
Rescue me
Today, as usual, I go to town
And see his airs, hear his smug talk
“It’s vital not to worry about anything
That’s a pretty easy way to live, huh?”
In front of him, polite words and diets
And the news on TV mean nothing
Am I on the road to ruin?
There are plenty of other guys who are nice
If looks are important to you, I’m gonna get you with a fake smile
I pretend to have sharp eyes, but the truth is
I’m just a lonely coward
So rescue me
I’m dreaming of someday
My home with its garden, my company…
I can’t live a plain life
My ideals are always growing up
When I find a job and living alone after I graduate
I’m going to eat my meals outside
I don’t need kitchen appliances
Once I get married and have kids someday
Then day will come when I’m a woman in the neighbourhood
It’s not like a TV show
The love of my dreams is a distant happiness
So rescue me
I try to be a good girl for my parents
But it doesn’t work
I can’t measure up to their expectations
This complicated society works adults hard
We’re drowning in education and knowledge we don’t need
I don’t want to forget to have truth in my heart
So I’ll try not to abandon it
If I do, rescue me
