 無情に過ぎて行く　たいくつな時間
 恋じゃない　愛じゃない　欲しいのは
  mujou ni sugogite iku  taikutsu na jikan
  koi ja nai  ai ja nai  hoshii no wa
     Going through life with a heart of stone
     Makes for a boring time
     Not love, not affection
     Rather, what I want is...

 夢を求めて　生きて来た　甦る　深い本能【きおく】
  yume wo motomete  ikite kita  yomigaeru  fukai kioku [1]
     The deep instincts that are reawakened [1]
     By searching for your dreams!

 女を磨け！　心熱く
 もっと　feel so good
 カワイイだけじゃ　
 現代【いま】を　生きて　行けない
 見えない　敵が　いつも誰か狙ってる
 だから　おしみなく　
 そう華やかに　さらけ出して
 咲かせましょう　naked mind
  onna wo migake!  kokoro atsuku [2]
  motto  feel so good
  KAWAII dake ja 
  ima wo  ikite  ikenai [3]
  mienai  teki ga  itsumo dareka neratte'ru
  dakara  oshiminaku
  sou hanayaka ni  sarakedashite
  sakasemashou  naked mind
    Refine the girl! With her heart burning, [2]
    More and more, feel so good
    In this day and age, she can't go on [3]
    By just being cute
    Unseen enemies are always on the prowl
    So, without hesitation
    Yes, with a flourish, let's lay it all out
    And bloom, naked mind!

 社会の常識ね　大好きランキング       
 みんなが　１位【エース】を競ってる
  shakai no joushiki ne  daisuki RANKINGU
  minna ga  EESU wo kisotteru [4]
     Society's common sense
     Is its favorite ranking system
     Everyone's competing to be
     The all-around ace [4]

 ホッと一息　つきたいと　甘える気持ち
 ぐっとこらえ
 HOtto  hitoiki  tsukitai to  amaeru kimochi 
 gutto korae
    The moment you wanna take a breath
    You'll feel like calling it quits
    But don't give in!

 男を磨け！　心熱く

 優しいだけじゃ　
 現代【いま】を　生きて　行けない
 妖しい　罠が　いつも誰か狙ってる

 たくましく　さらけ出して
 咲かせましょう　naked mind
  otoko wo migake!  kokoro atsuku

     A trap is always waiting out there
     So, staying dynamic
     And resolute, let's lay it all out
     And bloom, naked mind!
