Verse 1 Mama’s got a screenshot on her phone again Says, “He’s a doctor, you should text him” Zoomed in on his family’s house in Shenzhen Three-car garage and investments 她说：“他条件很好，你不要太挑。” She says, “He’s a great catch, don’t be so picky.” 爸爸说：“两套房，以后不用愁。” Dad says, “Two houses, you’ll never have to worry.” I’m staring at his awkward selfie Like… this just doesn’t feel like home Pre-Chorus 你说爱情可以慢慢培养 You say love can slowly grow. But my heart don’t work that way 你们说钱最重要 You say money matters most. But I need more than just okay Chorus I don’t want a mansion if I’m crying in the kitchen 不想为了房子委屈自己的人生 I don’t want to compromise my life for a house. You say I’ll be lucky, say I’ll never have to struggle 可是没有感觉怎么过一生？ But without feelings, how do I spend a lifetime? I’m still young, I’m still free 我的未来不只婚礼 My future is more than just a wedding. Why you rushing me to say “I do”? 如果心不动，那就不对 If my heart doesn’t move, it’s not right. I’m not your checklist 不是你的清单 I’m not your checklist. I won’t marry just because I can 不是为了面子，不是为了钱 Not for reputation, not for money. I want love 真正的爱 Real love. Verse 2 Another dinner, awkward small talk He’s bragging ’bout his net worth Mama kicks me under the table “笑一笑，这个不错。” “Smile a little, this one’s not bad.” 你说：“感情以后会有的。” You say, “Feelings will come later.” “结婚最重要是合适。” “Marriage is about being suitable.” But how you want forever With someone I don’t even wanna kiss? Pre-Chorus 你说我以后会感谢你 You say I’ll thank you in the future. When I’m living comfortably 可是每天对着一个不爱的人 But waking up every day next to someone I don’t love — That’s not the life I see Chorus I don’t want a mansion if I’m crying in the kitchen 不想为了稳定失去灵魂 I don’t want to lose my soul for stability. You say I’ll be lucky, say I’ll never have to struggle 可是没有火花怎么算缘分？ Without a spark, how is that fate? I’m still young, I’m still free 世界这么大等着我去 The world is so big, waiting for me. Why you rushing me to say “I do”? 如果没有爱，我不会赌 If there’s no love, I won’t gamble. I’m not your checklist 不是你的清单 I’m not your checklist. I won’t marry just because I can 不是为了面子，不是为了钱 Not for reputation, not for money. I want love 真正的爱 Real love. Bridge 我知道你们是为我好 I know you want what’s best for me. 怕我以后吃苦受伤 You’re afraid I’ll suffer later. But love isn’t safety, it’s fire and choice 不是安排，是心动的声响 It’s not arrangement, it’s the sound of a racing heart. Let me fall, let me choose 让我自己走这条路 Let me walk this road myself. I’d rather wait for something real Than settle just to make it smooth Final Chorus I don’t need a diamond if it don’t shine for me 不需要豪门，只要真心 I don’t need wealth, I just need sincerity. Keep the status, keep the family name 我要的是感觉，不是头衔 I want feeling, not a title. I’m still young, I’m still free 人生不是交易 Life is not a transaction. Don’t wanna settle just to make you proud 爱来了，我自然会知道 When love comes, I’ll know. I’m not your checklist 不是你的清单 I’m not your checklist. I’ll find someone who understands 不是为了面子，不是为了钱 Not for reputation, not for money. I want love 真正的爱 Real love.
