Want U Back (English Response)

Move On

Original Artiste: 100% (Want U Back)
Response by: EFJ

The way you stare at me from across the street I can tell (want you back)
What's going through your mind baby it's that obvious (want you back)
But I am his now so stop saying nonsense like (now it's over but I'm still your lover)

Can't you get the fact that I'm no longer yours
Why are you still trying to win me back
Go out and mingle go out with a girl please just move on
Tell her what you always tell me I don't wanna let you go

Forget the way my hand feels like when walk together hand-in-hand
'Coz my hand is in another's grasp so I don't wanna hear anymore (want you back girl)

(Want you back girl) no stop saying that to me
(Bad girl) yes I am rejecting you
(Oh no) oh you drive me so insane
Stop it now forget me I'm no longer your property

Girl he wants you back what you waiting for

Stop confusing me you're making it more difficult than it should be
I'm trying to forget my feelings for you so why aren't you doing the same
Can you hear me you can't keep doing this
My life was so peaceful when you left but now
You come back want me back can't you just leave me alone

I thought I wouldn't be able to move on when you decided to leave me back then

But now that I finally have you tell me that you want me back

(Want you back girl) no stop saying that to me

(Bad girl) yes I am rejecting you

(Oh no) oh you drive me so insane

Stop it now forget me I'm no longer your property

Why do you keep bothering me can't you just leave me be
Get it in your head that I'm no longer yours

(Want you back girl) no stop saying that to me

(Bad girl) yes I am rejecting you

(Oh no) oh you drive me so insane

Stop it now forget me I'm no longer your property

Dilemma

Dilemma.. HELPP~

As you (my non-existent readers) might have noticed, I've been into writing song responses these few.... Uhmm... Months..? And I've encountered a dilemma.

I've decided to use Infinite's Man In Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVHPcZ5oMLQ) for my next project although I'm not that much of a fan of the song as of current. It still needs a little getting used to, I guess.

I mean, I love pretty much all Infinite songs that I've heard - Come Back Again, She's Back, Be Mine, Paradise, 60 Seconds, Special Girl, Only Tears. Just to name a few. And it was love at first listen for all these songs. But Man In Love just isn't there yet for me.

However, as I read the translation (basically it's all about what some men would do if he were in love) I thought it would be a good song to write a response to. Honestly, I was initially thinking of responding to Paradise (when I wasn't really into Man In Love - it's slowly growing on me) or even 60 Seconds.

60 Seconds, much as I love the song, I have absolutely no idea how to respond to it. The song has 2 parts (from what I understand) - how they (the characters in the song) met and how it ended. I'm not quite sure how to respond to that......
Just got this idea while reading the translation. I guess I could start with the first meeting as well, how the girl felt, how the girls is hurting and wants to let go at the second part, and as for the 3rd part how she was hoping that despite all that she still wished he had chased after her. Then comes the chorus. Oh my goodness the torture I'll have to endure. *sighs* Alright storyline done, now to actually start...............

Soon...............................

I hope.............................

As for Paradise, the understanding I got from the translation is that it is about a possessive guy who wants to keep the girl against her will in his own make-believe "paradise". The respond would be the girl trying to tell him to let her go and asking him to move on because they are both hurting and suffering. That would be a little like my Missing You response, except this does not involve a third party (I still think the guy in Missing You is a jerk. =/). So yes, it is a little dark for me, and although I have a rough idea of the storyline, I would need a lot of time to actually sit down and work on it and I simply cannot handle so much sadness (from trying to hold on to the guy I love in Guy Like Me response and falling in love with a jerk in Missing You).

So I decided on Man In Love. Seriously. it seemed like the easiest thing to respond to. All I needed was how it felt to be a girl in love. And since I'm a girl (believe it or not -.-') it should be easy...............

It was pure mental torture let me tell you first. Yes, I got the first part of the chorus down. That was the easiest part. Even before I started writing the translation and romaji down and counting the syllables, I already got the first part of the chorus down (and now pretty much the whole chorus). And when I finished writing down the translation and romaji and dividing the syllables, and tried to start on my response I realised I was blank. I might be a girl, but this is probably one of the most difficult response I ever wrote (next to Missing You. Honestly, Guy Like Me really was the easiest)

1) I've never been in love. At least I don't ever remember being so in love I actually changed
2) Even if I did, I'm not a typical girl who shies when she is around someone she likes. If I spot a cute guy, I try so hard to get his attention by being loud/laughing loudly. If I have to see him everyday I make friends with him.

Most girls try to act cute. I try to act goofy to try and make him laugh. Or whine non-stop just to annoy him. I don't know.. That's just me. Shoot me. But don't judge me. So yes, I can't exactly write the response since I am so different from a normal girl.

So what did I do? I asked around. Asked the community at G+. Asked my Unnies (godsisters), and even my Oppas (godbrothers) how they change when they are in love or some of the changes they noticed in their friends when they are in love. Hmm.. I guess it did help a bit. Although honestly G+ wasn't of any help at all, since noone replied.. -.-' Except for +Alyssa Avacena. Thank you dear :)

BUT~ Now, I'm thinking of writing a response to Teen Top's Walk By. T,T The song is about a guy who is still sad about his break-up and is hoping for the girl to return to him. My response would be the girl regretting she ever hurt him and wondering if he would ever accept her again. Sounds desperate I know and I don't really like songs like these (where one is regretting his/her choice to leave and asking for another chance) but I've got to have a variety, right? Hmm.. I might even be able to do the rap, since it seems simple enough.

THEN I listened to Infinite's Inconvenient Truth and I thought, OI WHAT THE HELL?! Do pardon my language. Basically about this guy nagging his girlfriend to dress more appropriately (no short skirts, no low-cuts) Of course I'm not that type of girl (although I do like skinny jeans. =DD) but it seemed like a cute song to respond to. Maybe I can go about as a rebellious girl, telling him to not bother me so much when he himself is making girls go crazy (come on, who isn't crazy for Infinite? =DD)

Seriously. Why didn't I delve into writing response songs earlier? My life would have been so much easier...........

I think..........................

I hope.........................

Oh what do I do now? I'm thinking of giving up on Man In Love altogether (since I don't really like the song anyway, right?) but I don't like doing things (that I like) halfway. It'll be another set of torture if I start on a new project before finishing my current one.

Oh yes. And I'm thinking of doing a dance for Teen Top (Changjo ft. L.Joe)'s Jealousy. Oh the things my scumbag brain comes up with.

Sorry for the non-lyrical post. Sorry for the rant. I needed to do it somehow, and since this IS related to this blog, I thought why not.

love,
EFJ

Missing You (English Response)

Missing Her

Original Artiste: Teen Top (Missing You)

Response by: EFJ

You think I didn't see your face change

When you realised it was me you hugged

Who do you see when you look at me

You're not looking at me you're just looking through me

You give me a blank stare when I talk to you

You gift me things I would never use

Tell me exactly what is on your mind

And who exactly is it that's in your heart

I've got to tell you
This is not a novel or a drama we're characters of
It's not that I never tried or gave up too easily
But the fact's just it that you're not the one for me
And no matter how hard I try it's just not working for me
I just can't accept you at least not yet
It's her scent that I smell it's her touch that I feel
You're the one that's talking but it's her voice that I hear
You found me and gave me all your love but I can't return the favour
This relationship's just that just two people together without any bond or love
I'm sorry girl

I love you

But why are you trying to change the person that I am

Much as I love you

But I just can't live knowing it's not me that's in your heart

I want one night just one night

I wish you would look at me as me

I am sorry I'm sorry really

That I'm not the person that you wished for

This is all my fault
I thought that she would leave me
I thought that I could forget her by being here with you but
Our love story ain't got no soul it's just so cold
I'm here with you but my heart is not
I'm sorry I can't return the love you gave to me

Why are you torturing me when your heart is not mine

I know I'm selfish but what can I do

Why are you still in this relationship when your heart is not mine

I know I'm selfish but what can I do

You keep calling me by her name you keep comparing me and her

When will you realise that I'm not her that I will never be her

If it's not me why are you still holding on

I love you
But why are you trying to change the person that I am
Much as I love you
But I just can't live knowing it's not me that's in your heart
I want one night just one night
I wish you would look at me as me
I am sorry I'm sorry really
That I'm not the person that you wished for

This is my cue to walk away

But I will wish you all the best anyway

I don't wanna give up so easily

No matter how hard I try to forget you're still on my mind

But if I keep lying and holding on

Then I will just hurt the both of us

Guy Like Me (English Response)

Guy Like You

Original artiste: 100% (Guy Like Me)

Cover by: EFJ

What are you saying I've never felt that way
You did more than anyone else ever had
How can I ever live without you by my side
Which is why I will keep holding on

You were the only one who knew me inside out
The cliche words "I love you" no I don't want at all
Please will you think this over please keep holding on to me
Please don't make me do something I don't want

You are the one you are the one
Please don't make me walk away from you
You are the one you are the one
Oh no
You are the one you are the one
The only one that I will ever ever love
You are the only one

When will you realise that I will never leave
Please stop asking me to go
You ask me why I'm behaving like child crying
Well it's because I can't stand to lose you

You were the only one who knew me inside out
The cliche words "I love you" no I don't want at all
Please will you think this over please keep holding on to me
Please don't make me do something I don't want

You are the one you are the one
Please don't make me walk away from you
You are the one you are the one
Oh no
You are the one you are the one
The only one that I will ever ever love
You are the only one

Please don't make me say the things that I don't want
How can such ridiculous thoughts cross my mind
Stop it stop it please stop asking me to leave
Do you really hate me

What Am I Doing

EFJ

I love you

If I can't even say this to you

I'll let you go

But I've got to at least try

You were the one I went to

When I needed to get out

You were the one I looked for

When I needed to escape

And then I took advantage

Of all that you've done

I demanded for more

When you've done more than enough

I love you
If I can't even say this to you
I'll let you go
But I've got to at least try
I need you
Can't believe I didn't even know it
Now you're gone
I don't even know what I'm doing

I kept on playing
Thinking you'll always be there
I kept on using
You like you couldn't feel
I kept on pushing
Thinking you wouldn't mind
I kept ignoring
You when you needed someone
But now

I love you
If I can't even say this to you
I'll let you go
But I've got to at least try
I need you
Can't believe I didn't even know it
Now you're gone
I don't even know what I'm doing

I stayed up all night
Thinking what I could have done better
I stayed up all night
Wasting my tears
'coz I know you're gone
And you're never coming back again
But what am I doing
It's all my fault to begin with

I love you
If I can't even say this to you
I'll let you go
But I've got to at least try
I need you
Can't believe I didn't even know it
Now you're gone
I don't even know what I'm doing

I love you
If I can't even say this to you
I'll let you go
But I've got to at least try
I need you
Can't believe I didn't even know it
Now you're gone
I don't even know what I'm doing

What am I doing
It's all my fault to begin with

Tears

EFJ

It's the middle of the night

And I'm all alone

The middle of the night

With noone to turn to

You hung up on me

Like I'm next to zero

You brushed me away

Seems like I'm nothing to you

Why did I even bother

Why did I waste my tears

Were you even worth it

I ask myself everyday

It's the middle of the night

And I'm all asleep

The middle of the night

And I have decided

You never deserved it

You never earned

My time and energy

Or even my tears

Why did I even bother

Why did I waste my tears

Were you even worth it

I ask myself everyday

I gave everything for you

I tried my hardest just for you

But as usual you just blew it away

You didn't even care what I had to say

So why did I even bother

Why did I waste my tears

Were you even worth it

I ask myself every single day

love,

EFJ

Strangers

EFJ

Lost in a whole new place
You came and made me feel better
I don’t know how when or where
But with you I feel comfortable

And then we started talking
Every single night and morning
You never failed to make me smile
Even if it was just for a while

From stangers we got together
The most fun I ever had was with you
From there look where we’re at
I cherish every moment with you

What happened next I don’t know
We just stopped talking one fine day
All my calls were not picked up
All my texts you didn’t reply

I got tired of waiting
So one day I just asked you
And then I realised
I’ve been at fault all along

From strangers we got together
The most fun I ever had was with you
From there look where we’re at
I cherished every moment with you

Another you, another me
Will we ever be how we used to be
Another time another place
Will I still see that look on your face

From strangers we got together
The most fun I ever had was with you
From there look where we’re at
I cherished every moment with you

From strangers we got so close
And then back to strangers we are
From strangers we got so far
Will we ever be as we were

love,
EFJ
