Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Waited outside your apartment
– I tatari ki waho o tō whare
You used to come down for me
– I haere mai koe ki raro ki ahau
I used to feel like an angel
– I rite ahau ki te anahera
Now I’m a dog on your leash
– Na he kuri ahau i runga i tou taura
Begging for more
– Te tono mō ētahi atu
X on my hand drawn in Sharpie
– X i runga i toku ringa i tuhia ki Te Sharpie
Now I use my own ID
– Na ka whakamahi ahau i taku AKE ID
All of the girls at this party
– Ko ngā kōtiro katoa o tēnei rōpū
Are younger and hotter than me
– He taitamariki, he wera ake i ahau
And I hate what I wore
– A e kino ana ahau ki taku i mau ai
But I hate myself more
– Engari he nui ake taku kino ki ahau
For thinkin’ you were different
– He rerekē hoki te whakaaro ki a koe
Wish I never loved you
– Ko te hiahia kia kaua ahau e aroha ki a koe
We’re not gettin’ any younger
– Kāore mātou e whiwhi i te rangatahi
But your girlfriends seem to
– Engari ko ō hoa wahine te āhua nei
Lookin’ for something to tell you
– Te rapu i tētahi mea hei whakaatu ki a koe
Lookin’ for reasons to speak
– E rapu ana i ngā take hei kōrero
Pictures of you at the movies
– Pikitia o koutou i te kiriata
Is she younger and hotter than me?
– He taitamariki, he wera ake i ahau?
Is it all in my head?
– Kei roto katoa i toku mahunga?
Should have moved on instead
– Me kua neke i runga i hei utu
Of thinkin’ you were different
– O te whakaaro ‘ he rerekē koe
Wish I never loved you
– Ko te hiahia kia kaua ahau e aroha ki a koe
We’re not gettin’ any younger
– Kāore mātou e whiwhi i te rangatahi
But your girlfriends seem to
– Engari ko ō hoa wahine te āhua nei
Someone else
– Tētahi atu
Was I someone else?
– He tangata kē rānei ahau?
Now you are someone else
– Na ko koe tetahi atu
Someone else
– Tētahi atu
Waited outside your apartment
– I tatari ki waho o tō whare
You used to come down for me
– I haere mai koe ki raro ki ahau
