KANTOI


Semalam I call you, you tak answer
You kata you keluar pergi dinner
You kata you keluar dengan kawan you
But when I called Tommy he said it wasn’t true

Yesterday when I called you, you didn't answer
You said you went out for dinner
You said you went out with friends
But when I called Tommy he said it wasn't true



So I drove my car pergi Damansara
Tommy kata maybe you tengok bola
Tapi bila i sampai, you tak ada
Lagilah i jadi gila!

So I drove my car to Damansara (a place in Kuala Lumpur)
Tommy said maybe you went to watch a soccer match
But when I arrive there, you wasnt' there
Hence I became madder



So I called and called sampai you answer
You kata, ‘Sorry, sayang. Tadi tak dengar.
My phone was on silent, i was at the gym.”
Tapi latar belakang suara perempuan lain.

So I called and called until you answered
You said, 'Sorry darling, didn't hear it just now
My phone was on silent, I was at the gym.'
But the background has another woman's voice



Sudahlah, sayang, I don’t believe you
I’ve always known that your words were never true
Why am I with you? I pun tak tahu
No wonderlah my friends pun tak suka

It's over darling, I don't believe you
I've always known that your words were never true
Why am I with you? Even I myself don't know why
No wonder even my friends don't like you



So I guess that’s the end of our story
Akhir kata she accepted his apology
Tapi last-last kita dapat tahu she was cheating too
With her ex-boyfriend’s best friend…
Tommy

So I guess that's the end of our story
Lastly she accepted his apology
But in the end we got to know she was cheating too
With her ex-boyfriend's best friend...
Tommy



Kantoi

Busted!



- End of Lyris/Translation -
