Leavin' For Las Vegas
Namie Amuro · GENIUS 2000 [2000]
Sore de keetai kaiyaku...nante iya
Aitsu no koe sae kikenai ja nai
Demo tonikaku shigoto ni dekaketa shatsu no poketto ni key dake suikonde
Kyou mo asa kara boss no donaru koe nanika ima hitotsu atama de hajiketa
Vegas e ikou shoubu ni deyou lucky na koto ni saifu wa karappo
Nakushite kuyashii mono nante nai so I'm leavin' for Las Vegas sore shika nai
Sotto Lotto ni mo negai kaketa kedo hitoketa chigai no fifty million bucks
Motto rich na bakansu yume mite chikaba no beach de mune made yaita
Chotto nankai sugiru keiyakusho sign hitotsu de boss no iinari da nante
Yatto te ni shita pay ni mo sugu ni tax nanika mata hitotsu karada ga sakenda
Vegas e ikou hito yama ateyou happy na koto ni sora shika mienai
Koko kara ochiteku basho nante nai
So I'm leavin' for Las Vegas sou iku shika nai
Gotta get some money, gotta get some cash
Koko kara ochiteku basho nante nai
So I'm leavin' for Las Vegas sou iku shika nai
It's just one of those days you gotta deal with
What are you gonna lose?
Everybody come along and this is what we'll do
Ain't got nothing in my pocket but some lint, that's a fact
So I'm leaving for Las Vegas cause that's where it's at
It's just one of those days you gotta deal with
What are you gonna lose?
Everybody come along and this is what we'll do
Ain't got nothing in my pocket but some lint, that's a fact
So I'm leaving for Las Vegas cause that's where it's at
