猫だって　杓子だって
名刺を作れば即アイドル
世界でもまれに見る
特殊な職業　Jアイドル
 
それでもたいてい続かないの
いろんな意味で体力も必要（い）る
誘惑だって半端無いのもわかるでしょ
Do you know?
 
チヤホヤされてた若い頃
あの頃が少し懐かしいけど
今日も歌う　大好きな歌
 
アイドル10年やってらんないでしょ！？
石の上でさえ3年だよ
青春全部ささげた事は
誇りに思って生きて行くわ
アイドル10年やっちまったんだよ
バイト感覚じゃ続かないから
土日も全部ささげて来たよ
好きな事だって仕事となりゃ別腹だよ
それでも　アイドル　I love it!
 
モデルしたい　女優したい
あれこれしたくもなるけれど
雑念は禁物よ
勘違いしたらそこまでよ
 
今思えば動機だなんて
どれだとかこれだとかないわ
ママになった友達だっているのが
現実
 
ママのダメだしはキツいけど
言ってる意味は確かにわかるよ
それでもほら　もうすぐ幕が開く
 
アイドル10年やってらんないでしょ！？
デビューしてからも「山」「谷」あり
辞めたくなって真夜中ずっと
涙した事もあるんだけど
アイドル10年やっちまったんだよ
簡単そうに見えちゃう職業
それでもやっぱ歌えば官軍
これでよかったと感極まって涙しちゃう
やっぱり　アイドル　I love it!

Anybody and everybody
could be an idol if they put it on a business card
A unique job
that's rare in this world, a Japanese idol
 
But still, in most cases it doesn't last long
You need physical strength in many ways
And there's always a lot of tempting stuff
Do you know?
 
When I was young, I got praised for every little thing I did
and I miss those days sometimes too
but today again, I sing my favorite song
 
People usually aren't idols for 10 years, are they?
It's been hard, but I've persevered
I live everyday with the pride
of having given up my youth for this

I've been an idol for 10 freaking years!
It's really not anything like a part-time job
I've even given up my weekends for this
because the things I like and the things I do for my job are different
But still, I love being an idol!
 
I've wanted to do lots of other things
like modeling and acting
But thinking about stuff like that is a no-no
because if you do something wrong, then it's over for you
 
Now that I think about it
there's really no motive behind what I chose to do
Reality is that I even have friends
who are already moms
 
When my mom judges what I do, it's a pain in the butt
but I really do understand why she's saying all that stuff
Still, the curtain will go up again very soon
 
People usually aren't idols for 10 years, are they?
Even after debuting, there's up and downs
There have been nights
where I've cried because I wanted to call it quits

I've been an idol for 10 freaking years!
A career that's seen as an easy job
But still, when we sing, we're like an army
and when I think about it, I go "I'm glad I'm doing this", and end up all emotional
Being an idol is definitely the life for me, I love it!
