プレ! プレパラート!
強くなんかないけど
プレ! プレパレード!
いつか君を捕まえる!
プ・レ・プレパ プ・レ・プレパ プ・レ・プレパ ワレテバリバリ
プ・レ・プレパ プ・レ・プレパ プ・レ・プレパ
油断したら その指 チクチクアタック 覚悟して
小さいけど 挟むの ミジンコみたいなアナタ
欲しいのは プラスチックなハート(プラス プラス ダケドマイナス)
でもそれじゃつまらない そこに気付いた者勝ち
恋は甘くて 苦いもの
単純明快 複雑怪奇な代物
どうでもいい事ばっかり気にしたりするの
どんな感じ?ソンな感じ
温厚篤実 エキセントリックなアナタ
強がる素振りを全身まとって太刀打ち
素直なだけだと刺激が強くて クラクラ
傷ついちゃうの 傷つけちゃうの 純情プレパラート
プ・レ・プレパ プ・レ・プレパ プ・レ・プレパ ワレテバリバリ
プ・レ・プレパ プ・レ・プレパ プ・レ・プレパ
磨けばまだ 輝く 限界なんて ありえない
小さくても 誰にも 負けない何かがあるの
私から 近づくまで耐えてよ(タエテ タエテ コンキガダイジ)
アナタから それ以上近づかれたら割れちゃう
人は優しく 刺激的
気分爽快 難行苦行の代物
泣きたい時にもニコニコ笑ったりするの
どんな感じ?損な感じ
才気煥発 アクティブ全開なアナタ
強気な態度で奇襲を仕掛けて仇討ち
直進だけだと不安に駆られて ソワソワ
頭の中は いつも一人の 純情プレパレード
恋は甘くて 苦いもの
単純明快 複雑怪奇な代物
どうでもいい事ばっかり気にしたりするの
どんな感じ?ソンな感じ
温厚篤実 エキセントリックなアナタ
強がる素振りを全身まとって太刀打ち
素直なだけだと刺激が強くて クラクラ
傷ついちゃうの 傷つけちゃうの 純情プレパラート
頭の中は いつも一人の 純情プレパレード

Pre! Preparation!
I may not be very strong,
Pre! Pre-parade!
but'll catch you someday!
P-re-prepare, p-re-prepare, p-re-prepare, cracking apart
P-re-prepare, p-re-prepare, p-re-prepare
Let your guard down and expect a poking attack from my fingers
I may be small, but I can still pluck you like a flea
I'm longing for a plastic heart (plus, plus, somehow a minus)
But the one who realizes how boring that'd be will win
Love is something that's bittersweet
Plain and simple while complicated and mysterious
You get worried about the most pointless things
How does it feel? That's how it feels
You're gentle and sincere yet eccentric
I pretend to be strong and compete against you
I get dizzy whenever I try to be honest with myself
I get hurt, I hurt you, in a preparation of pure feelings
P-re-prepare, p-re-prepare, p-re-prepare, cracking apart
P-re-prepare, p-re-prepare, p-re-prepare
If I polish myself, I'll still shine; limits don't exist
Even if I'm little, there's something that I can't lose to anyone at
Endure it until I get closer to you (endure it, endure it, patience is important)
If you get any closer to me, I'll crack
People are kind and stimulating
Refreshing fellows who suffer hardships
Even when they want to cry, they grin from ear to ear
How does it feel? It feels like a loss
You're brilliant and totally active
I mount surprise attacks on you with a bold attitude to get my revenge
Just by going straight ahead, I'm driven by anxiety and I feel nervous
In my mind, I'm always alone on an innocent Pre-Parade
Love is something that's bittersweet
Plain and simple while complicated and mysterious
You get worried about the most pointless things
How does it feel? That's how it feels
You're gentle and sincere yet eccentric
I pretend to be strong and compete against you
I get dizzy whenever I try to be honest with myself
I get hurt, I hurt you, in a preparation of pure feelings
In my mind, I'm always alone on an innocent Pre-Parade
Pre! Preparation!
I may not be very strong,
Pre! Pre-parade!
but'll catch you someday!
P-re-prepare, p-re-prepare, p-re-prepare, cracking apart
P-re-prepare, p-re-prepare, p-re-prepare
Let your guard down and expect a poking attack from my fingers

I'm longing for a plastic heart (plus, plus, somehow a minus)

Love is something that's bittersweet

You get worried about the most pointless things
How does it feel? That's how it feels
