You are the one who makes my heart beat faster 

But you are also the one who makes me suffer 

You are so recalcitrant, always kicking back 

Against my love and care, you never cut me slack（你总是吹毛求疵） 

But I can't give you up, no matter how you act 

You are my addiction, that's an undeniable fact 

So I will keep on trying, to win your stubborn heart 

Even if it means, we have to be apart
