Wag mo na sanang ipipilitI wish you wouldn’t keep insisting,
Ang gusto mo nanamanon what you want, again.
Pinipilit, at pinilitYou force it, and you keep forcing it,
Ang gusto mo nanamanon what you want, again.
At ikaw,And you,
Nanaman ang napagbigyanare the one I gave in to again.
Sa mgaIn all the
Gusto mong mga paraanways that you wanted.
At alam mong ako’y di tatanggi sayoAnd you know I won’t say no to you.
(hindi to tatanggi sayo)(I won’t say no to you).
Alam mo na,You already know,
Walang magagawathat there’s nothing I can do.
Kahit di natutuwaEven if I’m not happy.
Ganon talaga siguro pag tangaI guess that’s just how it is when you’re a fool.
Wag mo na sanang ipipilitI wish you wouldn’t keep insisting,
Ang gusto mo nanamanon what you want, again.
Pinipilit, at pinilitYou force it, and you keep forcing it,
Ang gusto mo nanamanon what you want, again.
Sana’y makita moI hope you see
Pinagdaanan ko,what I’ve been through,
Para ibigay sayojust to give you
Lahat ng gusto moeverything you want.
Wag mo na sanang ipipilitI wish you wouldn’t keep insisting,
Ang gusto mo nanamanon what you want, again.
Pinipilit, at pinilitYou force it, and you keep forcing it,
Ang gusto mo nanamanon what you want, again.
Sana’y makita moI hope you see
Pinagdaanan ko,what I’ve been through,
Para ibigay sayojust to give you
Lahat ng gusto moeverything you want.
