Two lovers stop for kisses on a wallDos amantes se detienen para besarse en una pared

She asked him, Never leave meElla le pregunta, Nunca me dejes

He tells her that he won'tÉl le dice que no lo hará

But the boy is young and foolish and knows it allPero el chico es joven y tonto y lo sabe todo

And he puts it about when he goes outY se divierte cuando sale

Stories they get toldHistorias se cuentan

And stories, yeah stories get told...Y historias, sí, historias se cuentan...

It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanoursEs parte de su naturaleza, su mala conducta y sus fechorías

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toesEl chico no es ningún genio, la mantiene alerta

It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanoursEs parte de su naturaleza, su mala conducta y sus fechorías

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toesEl chico no es ningún genio, la mantiene alerta

And these lovers trip and stumble down the roadY estos amantes tropiezan y se tambalean por el camino

And on the grass they fumble round, like a flower their love growsY en el pasto se tambalean, como una flor su amor crece

And by the flower grows a weed and not the kind you smokeY junto a la flor crece una maleza y no del tipo que fumas

It raises up its ugly head, our lovers are in a chokeholdEleva su fea cabeza, nuestros amantes están en un estrangulamiento

Two lovers, two lovers in a hold...Dos amantes, dos amantes en un estrangulamiento...

It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanoursEs parte de su naturaleza, su mala conducta y sus fechorías

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toesEl chico no es ningún genio, la mantiene alerta

It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanoursEs parte de su naturaleza, su mala conducta y sus fechorías

The boy ain't no genius, he just keeps her on her toesEl chico no es ningún genio, solo la mantiene alerta

And I bet a bad thought don't cross her mindY apuesto a que un mal pensamiento no cruza su mente

And if it does she just discards it till it's gone awayY si lo hace, simplemente lo descarta hasta que desaparece

I bet of all of her she sees, she feelsApuesto a que de todo lo que ve, siente

There's somewhere that she stores it till it's gone awayHay un lugar donde lo guarda hasta que desaparece

Till it's gone awayHasta que desaparece

Till it's gone awayHasta que desaparece

It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanoursEs parte de su naturaleza, su mala conducta y sus fechorías

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toesEl chico no es ningún genio, la mantiene alerta

It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanoursEs parte de su naturaleza, su mala conducta y sus fechorías

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toesEl chico no es ningún genio, la mantiene alerta

It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanoursEs parte de su naturaleza, su mala conducta y sus fechorías

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toesEl chico no es ningún genio, la mantiene alerta

It's in his nature, his misbehaviour, and misdemeanoursEs parte de su naturaleza, su mala conducta y sus fechorías

The boy ain't no genius, he keeps her on her toesEl chico no es ningún genio, la mantiene alerta

On her toesEn alerta

Said the boy ain't no genius but he keeps her on her toesDijo que el chico no es ningún genio pero la mantiene alerta

Two lovers stop for kisses on a wallDos amantes se detienen para besarse en una pared

She asked him, Never leave meElla le pregunta, Nunca me dejes

He tells her that he won'tÉl le dice que no lo hará
