Lovesick Movie (YES the Ariel-Wilson movie) OST: Don't Wanna Ever by Jeffrey Kong


What does one do when the OTP in In Time With You doesn't seem to be hooking up anytime soon? No, you do not release your frustrations on a Ding Li Wei voodoo doll.


You watch Lovesick, or the next best thing: Their official MV.
This song's reminiscent to those boyband hits in the 90's; those yunno, about how my heart breaks and I can't live another day without you girl, please come back to me yadda yadda. Yawn, I'm so over that phase.
I came to the vid purely to get my ArLin (Ariel x Bo Lin) fix; for all I care they can have Rebecca Black's "Friday" as the OST and I'd still happily watch it (with mute of course).
But once heard, it proved to be so cheesey-licious! I was harping "Buyao buyao~" (roughly translated to be "Don't wanna" in chinese) before I knew it. And you will too. Trust me, this song does funny things to you.

Artist: Jeffrey Kong [exciting fact: Holey M! Did you know that he's the 76th descendant of Confucius (Kong Zi)? - The Man himself! - mind-boggling]
Lyricist: Jeffrey Kong
Composer: Jeffrey Kong, TheresaL
Translated Lyrics:
Those times you told me you love me
It's like it never happened
Every lie you told
Still haunting me

Not afraid of loneliness
I don't want to be vulnerable again (no)
Can no longer rely  on a warm embrace
Till we separate
No longer hoping
Even if there are countless scars, it's fine
(Love has four seasons, my heart has only winter)
Don't, don't say you're popular
Don't, don't make me fall for you
I beg you

(Delved in and out of your heart, can't find the answer)
Don't, don't say I don't believe
Don't, don't wanna ever...  believe again

Everyone has more or less experienced
The pain of a breakup
Every promise you made
Taunts me
I'm not afraid of loneliness
I won't be vulnerable again
No

Can no longer dwell on   those happy times
You're no longer here
Your heart left long ago
Even if I cry and plead, what good will that do?
(Love has four seasons, my heart has only winter)
Don't, don't say you're popular
Don't, don't make me fall for you
I beg you

(Delved in and out of your heart, can't find the answer)
Don't, don't say I don't believe
Don't, don't wanna ever... believe

Don't, don't say I don't believe
Don't, don't wanna ever... love you

No no no no, I don't wanna believe
Don't wanna believe
I don't wanna...
Don't wanna ever.... love you

Those times you told me you love me...

Translation Notes: To understand what this song, first you have to know what the movie, Lovesick is about. Ruo Qing (not You Qing), played by Ariel Lin, develops a love phobia (the more accurate translation of the Chinese title) after having being dumped in a very Skip Beat-esque manner by her first love, Ai Lun (Lin Yi Feng). Many years later, the disillusioned her meets the man of her dreams, Lu Zhe Han (Wilson Chen). But he can't be perfect! There's got to be be something wrong with this man...

*Purple are lines sung in English.

Chloe Says: I'm probably overgeneralizing here, but what is it about ABC*(American Born Chinese) artists that makes them such write cheesy lyrics (see also: Wang Lee Hom)? Though they sure know how to compose cracktastic songs. Oh buyao buyao~
