Cupid's Chokehold/Breakfast In America
Richard Davies, Roger Hodgson
Ba ba da da, ba ba da da
Ba ba da da, ba ba da da, ba ba da da
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been some time since we last spoke
This is gonna sound like a bad joke (bad joke)
But momma, I fell in love again
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend
And I know it sounds so old
But cupid got me in a choke-hold (choke-hold)
And I'm afraid I might give in
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin' (ba ba da da)
I mean she even cooks me pancakes
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is
We even got a secret handshake
And she loves the music that my band makes
I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been awhile since we talked last
And I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast
But dad, I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one
Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son
And I know you heard the last song
About the girls that didn't last long
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
I can tell by the way she says my name (ba ba da da)
I love it when she calls my phone
She even got her very own ringtone
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da)
It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home
And I open the door, take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
She'll be back into my arms once more for sure like (la la la la)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
She's got a smile that would make the most senile
Annoying old man bite his tongue (I'm not done)
She's got eyes comparable to sunrise
And it doesn't stop there (Man I swear)
She's got porcelain skin, of course, she's a ten
And now she's even got her own song (but movin' on)
She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard
And we can be on the phone for three hours (not sayin' one word)
And I would still cherish every moment
And when I start to build my future, she's the main component
Call it dumb, call it luck, call it love or whatever you call it but
Everywhere I go, I keep her picture in my wallet like here
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Ba ba da da, ba ba da da
Ba ba da da, ba ba da da
Ba ba da da, ba ba da da, ba ba da da
Ba ba da da, ba ba da da, ba ba da da
Take a look at my girlfriend
Sieh dir meine Freundin an
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Sie ist die einzige, die ich habe (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
Nicht viel von einer Freundin
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Ich scheine nie viel zu bekommen (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been some time since we last spoke
Es ist einige Zeit her, seit wir das letzte Mal gesprochen haben
This is gonna sound like a bad joke (bad joke)
Das wird wie ein schlechter Scherz klingen (schlechter Scherz)
But momma, I fell in love again
Aber Mama, ich habe mich wieder verliebt
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend
Es ist sicher zu sagen, dass ich eine neue Freundin habe
And I know it sounds so old
Und ich weiß, es klingt so alt
But cupid got me in a choke-hold (choke-hold)
Aber Amor hat mich im Würgegriff (Würgegriff)
And I'm afraid I might give in
Und ich habe Angst, ich könnte nachgeben
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin' (ba ba da da)
Handtücher auf der Matte, meine weiße Flagge weht (ba ba da da)
I mean she even cooks me pancakes
Ich meine, sie kocht mir sogar Pfannkuchen
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
Und Alka Seltzer wenn mein Bauch schmerzt
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is
Wenn das keine Liebe ist, dann weiß ich nicht, was Liebe ist
We even got a secret handshake
Wir haben sogar einen geheimen Händedruck
And she loves the music that my band makes
Und sie liebt die Musik, die meine Band macht
I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
Ich weiß, ich bin jung, aber wenn ich sie oder die Sonne wählen müsste
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Wäre ich ein nächtlicher Teufelskerl (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
Sieh dir meine Freundin an
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Sie ist die einzige, die ich habe (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
Nicht viel von einer Freundin
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Ich scheine nie eine Menge zu bekommen (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
Sieh dir meine Freundin an
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Sie ist die Einzige, die ich habe (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
Nicht viel von einer Freundin
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Ich scheine nie viel zu bekommen (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been awhile since we talked last
Es ist schon eine Weile her, seit wir das letzte Mal gesprochen haben
And I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast
Und ich versuche hart, nicht schnell zu reden
But dad, I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one
Aber Papa, ich denke endlich, dass ich die Eine gefunden habe
Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son
Ein Mädchen, das dich sehr stolz auf deinen Sohn machen wird
And I know you heard the last song
Und ich weiß, du hast das letzte Lied gehört
About the girls that didn't last long
Über die Mädchen, die es nicht lange aushielten
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
Aber ich verspreche, dies ist eine ganz neue Ebene
I can tell by the way she says my name (ba ba da da)
Ich erkenne es daran, wie sie meinen Namen sagt (ba ba da da)
I love it when she calls my phone
Ich liebe es, wenn sie mein Telefon anruft
She even got her very own ringtone
Sie hat sogar ihren ganz eigenen Klingelton
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da)
Wenn das keine Liebe ist, dann weiß ich nicht, was Liebe ist (ba ba da da)
It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home
Es wird eine lange Fahrt nach Hause sein, aber ich weiß, sobald ich zu Hause ankomme
And I open the door, take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
Und ich öffne die Tür, ziehe meinen Mantel aus und werfe meine Tasche auf den Boden
She'll be back into my arms once more for sure like (la la la la)
Wird sie wieder in meinen Armen sein, ganz sicher (la la la la)

She's got a smile that would make the most senile
Sie hat ein Lächeln, das selbst den senilsten
Annoying old man bite his tongue (I'm not done)
Der lästige alte Mann beißt sich auf die Zunge (ich bin noch nicht fertig)
She's got eyes comparable to sunrise
Sie hat Augen wie ein Sonnenaufgang
And it doesn't stop there (Man I swear)
Und das ist noch nicht alles (Mann, ich schwöre)
She's got porcelain skin, of course, she's a ten
Sie hat eine Porzellanhaut, natürlich, sie ist eine Zehn
And now she's even got her own song (but movin' on)
Und jetzt hat sie sogar ihren eigenen Song (aber weiter geht's)
She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard
Sie hat das süßeste Lachen, das ich je gehört habe
And we can be on the phone for three hours (not sayin' one word)
Und wir können drei Stunden lang telefonieren (ohne ein Wort zu sagen)
And I would still cherish every moment
Und ich würde immer noch jeden Moment schätzen
And when I start to build my future, she's the main component
Und wenn ich anfange, meine Zukunft aufzubauen, ist sie der Hauptbestandteil
Call it dumb, call it luck, call it love or whatever you call it but
Nenn es dumm, nenn es Glück, nenn es Liebe oder wie auch immer du es nennst, aber
Everywhere I go, I keep her picture in my wallet like here
Überall, wo ich hingehe, habe ich ihr Bild in meiner Brieftasche wie hier

Take a look at my girlfriend
Olha aqui a minha namorada
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Ela é a única que tenho (ba da da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
Como namorada ela não é lá essas coisas
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Mas eu quase nunca tenho muito (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been some time since we last spoke
Faz um tempo que a gente se falou
This is gonna sound like a bad joke (bad joke)
Isso vai soar como uma piada de mau gosto (piada de mau gosto)
But momma, I fell in love again
Mas eu me apaixonei novamente, mamãe
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend
Posso dizer agora que tenho uma nova namorada
And I know it sounds so old
E eu sei que vai soar antiquado
But cupid got me in a choke-hold (choke-hold)
Mas o Cupido me pegou numa chave de pescoço (chave de pescoço)
And I'm afraid I might give in
E acho que vou ter que capitular
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin' (ba ba da da)
Jogar a toalha no chão, balançar a proverbial bandeira branca (ba da da da)
I mean she even cooks me pancakes
Porque tipo, até mesmo panquecas ela faz pra mim
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
E me dá sal de frutas quando a minha barriga 'tá doendo
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is
Se isso não é amor, então não sei o que é o amor
We even got a secret handshake
A gente tem até um aperto de mão secreto
And she loves the music that my band makes
E ela adora a música que minha banda toca
I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
Sei que sou novo, mas se eu precisasse optar entre ela e o sol
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Eu me tornaria um filho da puta noturno (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
Olha aqui a minha namorada
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)

E eu 'to me esforçando pra não falar de forma apressada
But dad, I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one
Mas, pai, parece que enfim eu encontrei o amor da minha vida
Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son
O tipo de garota que vai te fazer ter um puta orgulho do seu filho
And I know you heard the last song
E eu sei que você escutou a última música
About the girls that didn't last long
Sobre as namoradas que não duraram muito tempo
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
Mas eu te prometo que essa é de outro patamar
I can tell by the way she says my name (ba ba da da)
Eu sei disso pelo jeito que ela diz meu nome (ba da da da)
I love it when she calls my phone
Eu adoro quando ela me liga
She even got her very own ringtone
Ela até tem a própria música de chamada dela
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da)
Se isso não é amor, então não sei o que é o amor
It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home
Vai ser uma longa jornada de volta pra casa, mas sei que assim que chegar em casa
And I open the door, take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
E abrir a porta, tirar o casaco e jogar minha mala no chão
She'll be back into my arms once more for sure like (la la la la)
Ela com certeza vai retornar aos meus braços de novo tipo (ba da da da)

She's got a smile that would make the most senile
Ela tem um sorriso que faria o mais senil
Annoying old man bite his tongue (I'm not done)
E chato dos velhos morder a própria língua (eu não posso mais)
She's got eyes comparable to sunrise
Os olhos dela são como o nascer do sol
And it doesn't stop there (Man I swear)
E não para por aqui (mano, eu juro)
She's got porcelain skin, of course, she's a ten
Ela tem uma pele de porcelana, claro, ela é nota dez
And now she's even got her own song (but movin' on)
E agora ela inclusive tem uma música dedicada a ela
She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard
Ela tem a risada mais gostosa que já ouvi
And we can be on the phone for three hours (not sayin' one word)
E a gente consegue ficar por três horas conversando no telefone (não digo uma palavra mais)
And I would still cherish every moment
E eu ainda seria grato por cada momento
And when I start to build my future, she's the main component
E quando começo a planejar meu futuro, ela é a peça mais importante
Call it dumb, call it luck, call it love or whatever you call it but
Pode chamar de estupidez, pode chamar de sorte, ou chame de amor ou o que quiser, mas
Everywhere I go, I keep her picture in my wallet like here
Pra onde quer que eu vá eu carrego a foto dela na minha carteira tipo aqui

Et quand je commence à construire mon avenir, elle est le composant principal
Call it dumb, call it luck, call it love or whatever you call it but
Appelez ça de la bêtise, de la chance, de l'amour ou peu importe comment vous l'appelez mais
Everywhere I go, I keep her picture in my wallet like here
Partout où je vais, je garde sa photo dans mon portefeuille, comme ici
Take a look at my girlfriend
Jette un coup d'oeil à ma petite amie
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
C'est la seule que j'ai (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
Pas vraiment une petite amie
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Je ne semble jamais en avoir beaucoup (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)

Ma, mamma, mi sono innamorato di nuovo
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend

Se non è amore questo allora io non so cos'è l'amore
We even got a secret handshake

And she loves the music that my band makes
E adora la musica che suona il mio gruppo
I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
So che sono giovane ma se dovessi scegliere lei o il sole
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Allora sarei un mascalzone notturno (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)

It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home
Sarà un viaggio lungo verso casa ma so che appena arriverò
And I open the door, take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
E aprirò la porta mi toglierò il cappotto e getterò la borsa sul pavimento
She'll be back into my arms once more for sure like (la la la la)
Lei tornerà sicuramente tra le mie braccia ancora una volta (la la la la)
