今日も街に出て
見栄の張り合い彼の自慢話
全て割りきりが肝心だねって
かなり気楽主義でしょ

彼のまえでは建て前のダイエット
TVニュースは無関心
そろそろ私ヤバイかな?

優しい男なら他にたくさんいるし
ルックス重視なら愛想笑いでGet you

めざといフリをして本当はいくじなしの
淋しがり屋だから
そんな私をRescue me

いつか夢見てる
庭付きマイホームとか外車だとか…
地味に生きれない
理想だけはいつでも一人前で

卒業したら就職一人暮らし
食事は外で済ますから
キッチン道具はいらない

いつか結婚して子供できたとしたら
近所のオバサンと呼ばれる日がくるの
ドラマとは違うね夢に描く恋愛
ほど遠い幸せ
そんな私をRescue me

親のためにはいい子でいられるように
努力をしても空回り
期待に応えられないの

複雑な社会に大人はこき使われ
いらない教養と知識におぼれている
純粋な心は忘れずにいたいから
どうか見捨てないでね
そんな時代にRescue me

Every Little Thing

Every Little Thing (エヴリ・リトル・シング), often abbreviated as ELT or elt, is a Japanese pop and soft rock duo who originally debuted as a trio in August of 1996 with the single Feel My Heart. At the time of debut, the members were Mitsuru Igarashi, Kaori Mochida and Ichiro Ito.

The group was originally formed because Mitsuru Igarashi, who was a producer for avex trax at the time, was searching for a female vocalist for a duo. Kaori Mochida, who was a student and former member of the group The Kuro Buta All-Stars, had sent in a demo to Mitsuru and he had been so speechless by Kaori’s vocals, had asked her to join the group he was forming and she willingly accepted. Ichiro Ito on the other hand, was a friend of Mitusuru’s who conveniently, plays the guitar, was asked to help play the guitar for the first single; the track did so well that Ito decided to stay in the group permanently. However, by the time the trio released their third single, Mitsuru had decided to leave in order to produce songs for other artists under avex, and, as such, ELT became a duo, as originally planned.

Since Mitsuru’s departure from the group, ELT continued to release content as a duo and continued to succeed on the charts.
