Lyrics[]
- My delusion spreads to infinity, in a crouch and ready to go! and get'em
- I'm a jitterbug party of one, the guiding star of my life is always "I wanchu!"
- In a flash and Spark! That feeling explodes
- My mind tells my heart, "Not yet, not yet!"
- Jealousy candy does not taste good
- Giving up was always the easiest path
- Under friendly fire in this game of love, say bye-bye to this gloom and doom
- Sentimental? Doesn't matter! Eyes meet, and bam! Sucker punched to the max with love
- This love zip zap zooms and the chu chu chu's just won't stop
- Aiming my Volt Tackle to the middle of your heart
- It's not very effective… Why not!? Come on!!
- I just can't help it, cuz I'm Reckless
- This love is paralyzing, I can't move, and I'm lovin' it
- My cheeks are burning in the recoil of my Volt Tackle
- It's super effective! But to only me!?
- Wait wait, do-over! Let's do one more battle!
- Cuz I wanchu! Yeah, you! I wanchu wanchu more!
- Cuz I wanchu! Yeah, you! I wanchu wanchu more!
- Cuz I wanchu! Yeah, you! I wanchu wanchu more!
- Zzzzzzzzzap! Go!
- I'm playing the lonely card, yeah, I'm just timid
- Pretending to be adamant, it's just a facade, you know
- "Oh so bashful!" you tease me with a smile
- But I'm warning you, you'd better be on your guard
- Shoo me away, go on, I don't care
- Shoo me away, go on, I don't care
- Shoo me away, go on, I don't care
- All your shooing can't harm me, I'm in invincible mode!
- This love zip zap zooms and the chu chu chu's just won't stop
- You give me whiplash when you put on your aversion sash
- Don't counteract my love beams by digging away
- Please, please, really look at me
- This love zip zap zooms and the chu chu chu's just won't stop
- Aiming my Volt Tackle to the middle of your heart
- It's not very effective… Why not!? Come on!!
- I just can't help it, cuz I'm reckless
- This love is paralyzing, I can't move, and I'm lovin' it
- My choice is this, to catch you with this Volt Tackle
- It's gonna be super effective! Even on you!
- Can't stop, won't stop, till I catch you, battle me again!
- Cuz I wanchu! Yeah, you! I wanchu wanchu more!
- Zzzzzzzzap! Gotcha! You're mine!

Trivia[]
- The phrase "aversion sash" references the Focus Sash item, as they're similarly pronounced in Japanese: (きあいのタスキ Kiai no Tasuki versus 嫌いのタスキ Kirai no Tasuki).
- This song's producer, DECO*27, might have been chosen to commemorate the 27th anniversary of Pokémon.
- Interestingly, out of the Pokémon games shown in the intro of the music video, the first and fifth generations are entirely absent, with the Unova region as a whole being unrepresented.
- The games that appear are Pokémon Gold, Ruby and Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl, HeartGold and SoulSilver, X and Y, Sun and Moon, Let's Go, Pikachu, Legends: Arceus, and Scarlet.
- In the original Japanese lyrics for the song, "ビビビビビビビビビ えーいっ！ (Zzzzzzzzap! Gotcha! You're mine!)" also refers to some players believing the false idea that spamming the "B" button while trying to capture a Pokémon in a Poké Ball would increase the chances of a successful capture.
