時針のない分針　意味が無いでしょ

ご馳走のないParty　地味になりそう

君が聞かない歌じゃダメでしょ

Cuz everything I do, I do for you

君へ　届けて　この気持ちを　笑顔に　できますように

全て　見せて　あげる　私　でも　伝え切れるものかな？

Like a chopstick 一本じゃ 掴めない

Like a hand to clap ひとりじゃ つまらない

Like a pretty shoe チグハグじゃ 心配

Like a wing to fly 君としか 飛べない

That’s why I need you

I always wanna be with you

同じ気持ちでいて

That’s why I need you

I always wanna be with you

同じ明日を見て

音楽のないスピーカー　まるで意味ない

バッテリーのない携帯　役に立たない

君が見ないStageには意味が無い

Cuz everything I sing, I sing for you

前で　後（あと）で　支えてるから　笑顔に　できるものなら

君がいなきゃ　いけない訳なんて　うまく言えない　だけど…

Like a chopstick 一本じゃ 掴めない

Like a hand to clap ひとりじゃ つまらない

Like a pretty shoe チグハグじゃ 心配}

Like a wing to fly 君としか 飛べない}

One Team that’s what we are

Teamwork that’s what we need

Pass assist and shoot rebound

Ball keeps moving around and around

いないと　全部ないの！

誰にも　代われないよ

ヤダな　意味がないよ　君じゃないとね

一人なんて　incomplete

自信がない Can’t compete

2ひく1は　1でもzero

Supermanより　君だけがMy hero

夢の答え　心の糧

君とtopへ　それがjob

最強のタッグ Ain’t nobody can stop

勝利して Let the champagne pop

君へ　届けて　この気持ちを　笑顔に　できますように

全て　見せて　あげる　私でも　伝え切れるものかな？

like a chopstick　ほら一緒だったら

like a hand to clap　君と鳴らしたい

like a pretty shoe　揃え出かけたい

like a wing to fly　一緒に飛べるかな

That’s why I need you

I always wanna be with you

同じ気持ちでいて

That’s why I need you

I always wanna be with you

同じ明日を見て

Like a chopstick

Ippon jya tsukamenai

Like a hand to clap

Hitori jya tsumarenai

Like a pretty issue

Chiguhagu de shinpai

Like a wing to fly

Jishin no nai funshin imi ga nai desho

Gochisou no nai paati jimi ni nari sou

Kimi ga kikanai uta jya dame desho

Cuz everything I do, I do for you

Kimi e todoketa kono kimochi wo egao ni dekimasu you ni

Subete misete ageru watashi demo tsutae kireru mono ka na?

Like a chopstick ippon jya tsukamenai

Like a hand to clap hitori jya tsumarenai

Like a pretty shoe chiguhagu jya shinpai

Like a wing to fly kimi to shika tobenai

That’s why I need you

I always wanna be with you

Onaji kimochi deite

That’s why I need you

I always wanna be with you

Onaji ashita wo mite

Ongaku no nai supiikaa maru de iminai

Byaterii no nai keitai yaku ni tatanai

Kimi ga minai suteeji ni imi ga nai

Cuz everything I sing, I sing for you

Mae de ato de sasaeteru kara egao ni dekiru mono nara

Kimi ga i nakya ike nai wakenante umaku ie nai dakedo...

Like a chopstick ippon jya tsukamenai

Like a hand to clap hitori jya tsumarenai

Like a pretty shoe chiguhagu jya shinpai

Like a wing to fly kimi to shika tobenai

One Team that’s what we are

Teamwork that’s what we need

Pass assist and shoot rebound

Ball keeps moving around and around

I nai to zenbu nai no

Dare ni mo kawarenai yo

Yada na imi ga nai yo kimi jya nai to ne

Hitori nante incomplete

Jishin ga nai Can’t compete

Ni hiku ichi wa ichi demo zero

Superman yori kimi take ga my hero

Yume no kotae kokoro no kate

Kimi to top e sore ga job

Saikyou no taggu ain't nobody can stop

Shouri shite let the champagne pop

Kimi e todoketa kono kimochi wo egao ni dekimasu you ni

Subete misete ageru watashi demo tsutae kireru mono ka na?

like a chopstick　hora issho dattara

like a hand to clap　Kimi to narashitai

like a pretty shoe　soroe dekaketai

like a wing to fly　issho ni toberu ka na

That’s why I need you

I always wanna be with you

Onaji kimochi deite

That’s why I need you

I always wanna be with you

Onaji ashita wo mite

A minute hand with no hour hand has no meaning;

A party with no feast is just plain

A song you cannot listen to is one I cannot sing

Cuz everything I do, I do for you

This feeling goes out to you

to make you smile

I'll show you everything, but is it something

that can be understood?

Like a chopstick, one cannot pick up

Like a hand to clap, it's boring alone

Like a pretty shoe, it needs to match

Like a wing to fly, I can only fly with you

That’s why I need you

I always wanna be with you

Feel the way I do

That’s why I need you

I always wanna be with you

See the same tomorrow

Speakers without music are meaningless;

A phone with no battery has no use.

A stage that you cannot see means nothing to me

Cuz everything I sing, I sing for you

I've supported you before and will from now on

If only I can make you smile

I just need you here I can't say it well but...

Like a chopstick, one cannot pick up

Like a hand to clap, it's boring alone

Like a pretty shoe, it needs to match

Like a wing to fly, I can only fly with you

One Team that’s what we are

Teamwork that’s what we need

Pass assist and shoot rebound

Ball keeps moving around and around

Without you, I have nothing at all!

No one can replace you

It would all be meaningless if it's not you

One person is incomplete

I'm not confident, I can’t compete

2 minus 1 is 1, but it's zero

More than Superman, you're my hero

Answer to my dreams, food for my heart

Go to the top with you, that's the job

The strongest tag team, ain’t nobody can stop

Just win and let the champagne pop

This feeling goes out to you

To make you smile

I'll show you everything, but is it something

that can be understood?

Like a chopstick, it's used together

Like a hand to clap, I want to clap with you

Like a pretty shoe, I wanna go out matching

Like a wing to fly, where I can fly with you

That’s why I need you

I always wanna be with you

Feel the way I do

That’s why I need you

I always wanna be with you

See the same tomorrow
