He's mint, he's mint
He's mint, he's mint

Day and night そう片時も
渡せない no no 誰にも
You know I'm watching every breath you take, move you make
捨てるわプライド ありったけの
仕方ない もうどうなっても
You know I hate that I love you wherever you are, near or far

瞳は straight at me
Cannot fight カラダが freeze
Let me taste your lips now please

見つめられたら最後 離れられないの
He's mint, he's mint
冷た目の態度 それすらも最高
He's mint, he's mint
Don't you break my heart お願い
その笑顔 chocolate chip もっと wanna taste it
欲しいのは愛よ 溺れてたいの
He's mint, he's mint

耐えがたい 不安も後悔も
絶え間ない 快楽への回路
You blow my mind babe, you just turn me on, on and on

瞳は straight at me
Cannot fight カラダが freeze
Let me taste your lips now please

抱きしめたら最後 息も出来ないの
He's mint, he's mint
何もかも最上 好きすぎる I know
He's mint, he's mint
Don't you break my heart お願い
その声は honey milk もっと wanna drink it
浴びるほど愛を とろけてたいの
He's mint, he's mint

He's mint, he's mint

見つめられたら最後 離れられないの
He's mint, he's mint
冷た目の態度 それすらも最高
He's mint, he's mint
Don't you break my heart お願い
その笑顔 chocolate chip もっと wanna taste it
欲しいのは愛よ 溺れてたいの
He's mint, he's mint
