[SPEED 「熱帯夜」歌詞]

ダメみたい I wanna be with you
Everytime 愛を私に
そばにいたい I wanna dance with you
今はすごく遠すぎて
涙さえ見えない

もしもアタシが彼女だったら
すごくいいよ
とことん尽くしてあげられるのに
他のどんな娘よりも...
そんな自分勝手な事ばっか
頭の中で想ってるだけで
逢うと顔には絶対出せない
口には死んでも出さない損な性格

眠りたい I wanna be with you
Everytime 愛を下さい
今頃あなたは誰といるの...
これ以上自分に嘘がつけない
もういい娘じゃいられない

今日は今年一番の熱帯夜
体がすごく暑いのに
心だけ何故かとても寒い
風が... 夜風が強くなってきた
夏が逝くねもう夜明けが近いよ

しゃべりたい I wanna be with you
Everytime 愛を私に
そばにいたい I wanna dance with you
今はすごく遠すぎて
言葉さえ届かない

ダメみたい I wanna be with you
Everytime 愛を下さい
今頃あなたは何してるの...
これ以上自分に嘘がつけない
もういい娘じゃいられない

SPEED is a four piece Japanese girl group consisting of Hiroko Shimabukuro (島袋寛子), Eriko Imai (今井絵理子), Takako Uehara (上原多香子), and Hitoe Arakaki (新垣仁絵) with the single “Body & Soul” in 1996 with the main vocalists being Hiroko and Eriko; the youngest members at the time were only 13 years of age.

The group would go on to win the Japan Gold Disc Awards such as New Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. However, by 2000, the group decided to disband, much to the dismay of loyal fans, but did get together numerous times – twice to release music, and many other times for charity. During their disbandment, the members embarked on solo careers, most notably Hiroko.

On August 20, 2008, the group announced that they would be reuniting permanently, and made their major comeback on November 12, 2008, with the single “あしたの空”, which translates roughly as “Tomorrow’s Sky”.
