Origineel
[Verse 1]
I’ll tell you a story before it tells itself
I’ll lay out all my reasons, you’ll say that I need help
We all got expectations, and sometimes they go wrong
But no one listens to me, so I put it in this song
[Pre-Chorus]
They tell me think with my head, not that thing in my chest
They got their hands in the air this time
But you’re the one that I want, and if that’s really so wrong
Then they don’t know what this feeling is like
[Chorus]
And I say yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah-eah
And I say yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah-eah
[Verse 2]
I’ll tell them a story, they’ll sit and nod their heads
I tell you all my secrets, and you tell all your friends
Hold on to your opinions, and stand by what you said (Stand by what you said)
In the end, it’s my decision, so it’s my fault when it ends
[Pre-Chorus]
They tell me think with my head, not that thing in my chest
They got their hands in the air this time
But you’re the one that I want, and if that’s really so wrong
Then they don’t know what this feeling is like
[Chorus]
And I say yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah-eah
And I say yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah-eah
[Verse 3]
I’ll tell you a story before it tells itself
I’ll lay out all my reasons, you’ll say that I need help
We all got expectations, and sometimes they go wrong
But no one listens to me, so I put it in this song
[Pre-Chorus]
They tell me think with my head, not that thing in my chest
They got their hands in the air this time
But you’re the one that I want, and if that’s really so wrong
Then they don’t know what this feeling is like
[Bridge]
My friends say no-o, no-o-o (But they don’t know)
No-o, no-o-o
Yeah, no-o, no-o-o
They don’t know, no no (No-o, no-o-o)
[Outro]
And I say yeah, oh oh
Oh, and I say yeah, hey-ey, yeah
They don’t know, oh
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
Ik zal je een verhaal vertellen voordat het zichzelf vertelt
Ik zal al mijn redenen uiteenzetten, jij zult zeggen dat ik hulp nodig heb
We hebben allemaal verwachtingen, en soms gaan ze verkeerd
Maar niemand luistert naar mij, dus zet ik het in dit lied
[Pre-Chorus]
Ze zeggen dat ik met mijn hoofd moet denken, niet dat ding in mijn borst
They got their hands in the air this time
Maar jij bent degene die ik wil, en als dat echt zo verkeerd is
Dan weten ze niet wat dit gevoel is
[Chorus]
And I say yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah
Yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah
And I say yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah
Yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah
[Vers 2]
Ik vertel ze een verhaal, ze zullen zitten en knikken met hun hoofd
Ik vertel je al mijn geheimen, en jij vertelt het aan al je vrienden
Hou vast aan je mening, en blijf bij wat je zei (Stand by what you said)
Uiteindelijk is het mijn beslissing, dus het is mijn schuld als het eindigt
[Pre-Chorus]
Ze zeggen dat ik met mijn hoofd moet denken, niet dat ding in mijn borst
They got their hands in the air this time
Maar jij bent degene die ik wil, en als dat echt zo verkeerd is
Dan weten ze niet wat dit gevoel is
[Chorus]
And I say yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah-eah
And I say yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yeah-eah, yeah-eah-eah-eah
[Vers 3]
I’ll tell you a story before it tells itself
I’ll lay out all my reasons, you’ll say that I need help
We hebben allemaal verwachtingen, en soms gaan ze verkeerd

[Pre-Chorus]

[Bridge]
My friends say no-o, no-o-o (But they don’t know)
No-o, no-o-o
Yeah, no-o, no-o-o
They don’t know, no no no (No-o, no-o-o)
[Outro]
And I say yeah, oh oh
Oh, and I say yeah, hey-ey, yeah
They don’t know, oh
