She believed what she had read,
Her Mr. Right is always ahead.
She believed what is said,
The roses out there are always red.
*
When she was 20, lying on her pinky bed, she dreamed about a nice-looking head.
When she was 30, she longed for a man with a potential career to let her future be fed.
Turning 40, she still thought she deserved a guy with a decent title or tons of bread.
Now, she’s passed 50 and only asks for a mate who won’t soon be deaf, or dead.
*
She believed what she had read,
Her Mr. Right is always ahead.
She believed what is said,
The roses out there are always red.

(間奏)
*
For him, love is never too late.
It’s easy to find a woman he’d like to date.
For him, love is the mission and fate.
It’s easy to find someone he’d like to wait.
*
When he was a boy, he dreamed about a rosy face adorably dressed by beautiful lace.
When he was 30, he longed for a passionate lover who can fall in love at a faster pace.
Turning 40, he preferred a lady knowing the difference between grimness and grace.
Now, he has passed 50, all he asks for is an exciting body and a few pills just in case.
*
For him, love is never too late.
It’s easy to find a woman he’d like to date.
For him, love is the mission and fate.
It’s easy to find someone he’d like to wait.
*
For him, love is never too late.
For him, love is the mission and fate.
Her Mr. Right is always ahead.
The roses out there are always red.
