Pre-Parade (From ”Toradora”)

PURE! PUREPARA-DO!
Don't be fooled 'cause looks can be deceiving
PURE! PUREPARA-DO!
I'll catch up to you so just wait and see

PURE! PUREPA!
PURE! PUREPA!
PURE! PUREPA!
Always cracking cracking
PURE! PUREPA!
PURE! PUREPA!
PURE! PUREPA!

Better pay attention
Or I'll attack
With my poking fingers
You don't stand a chance
I may be little, but I'll still squish you
You're a little bug barely dodging my hand

It's in these moments
I wish I could have a plastic heart
(It's a plus! It's a plus! But it's a MINUS too!)
But that'd be boring
And such a big waste
When realization hits you
You're in first place!

Love it tastes a little bittersweet on your tongue
Simple but complex yeah it would confuse anyone
With all of these thoughts don't know why I'm wasting my time
Tell me how lovе feels?
Tell me, is it real?
How can you bе gentle but eccentric and strong?
I'll stage my next attack and I'll put you where you belong
Hey, I'm just being honest but it's exhilarating
But one day ya might get hurt
(Yeah, one day I might get hurt)
But I swear, I will be PREPARED

PURE! PUREPA!
PURE! PUREPA!
PURE! PUREPA!
Always cracking cracking
PURE! PUREPA!
PURE! PUREPA!
PURE! PUREPA!

I'll polish all my bad traits
'Til they all shine
There are never limits
To making you mine
Even though I'm little
You might be surprised
There is something more that
Is being disguised

I'll overcome any obstacle if you're heart's the prize
(Endure it! Endure it! Patience and love is the key!)
But I can promise, that if you move first
My heart will beat so fast
I pray it won't burst

There's a new adventure with each person you meet
Sometimes it isn't easy but that makes life exciting
They may flash you a smile when they are holding back tears
Tell me how love feels?
Tell me, does it heal?
Somehow you are so brilliant and determined, come on
I'll stage my next attack and I'll put you where you belong
I won't say that I'm nervous 'cause who has anxiety?
But inside this heart of mine
It's where all true feelings lie
Like a perfect pure PRE-PARADE

Cracking cracking
(Cracking-)
