Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I’ve heard all the bad news and the bad reviews
– Kua rongo ahau i nga korero kino katoa me nga arotake kino
Couple bad gut feelings, well, I’ve had them too
– E rua ngā whakaaro kino, pai, kua riro hoki i ahau
But still I choose to be in love with you
– Engari ka whiriwhiri tonu ahau kia aroha ki a koe
Been alone for so long, I’ve got somethin’ to prove
– Kua roa au e noho mokemoke ana, he mea hei whakamatau
If I close an eye, it’s almost like your red flags are blue
– Ki te kati ahau i te kanohi, te reira tata rite koutou haki whero he puru
So still I choose to be in love with you
– Na tonu whiriwhiri ahau ki te kia i roto i te aroha ki a koutou
Short fuse and long baths like you’re fresh out of rehab
– Fuse poto me pati roa rite kei hou i roto i o rehab koe
And I’m fresh out of any good judgment
– A he hou ahau i roto i tetahi whakawa pai
I’m intentionally careless, least I got self-awareness
– He tino pōhara ahau, i te iti rawa ka mōhio au ki a au anō
Just want someone to love me who doesn’t
– Just hiahia te tangata ki te aroha ki ahau e kore e nei
I’ve heard all the bad news and the bad reviews
– Kua rongo ahau i nga korero kino katoa me nga arotake kino
All the friends tryna save me, well, I, I cut them loose
– Nga hoa katoa tryna whakaora ahau, pai, ahau, tapahia ratou e ahau wewete
‘Cause I refuse to be wrong again
– ‘No te mea e kore ahau e pai ki te he ano
And I can’t lose another boy that’s not even my boyfriend
– A e kore e taea e ahau te ngaro tetahi atu tamaiti e kore e ara toku hoa
Still I choose to be in love with you
– Kei te hiahia ahau ki te aroha ki a koe
Ooh, still I choose to be in love with you
– Ooh, tonu whiriwhiri ahau ki te kia i roto i te aroha ki a koutou
