Let me see your palms, baby, throw up to the ceiling.

The way you look gotta be studied, you a masterpiece.

비싼 옷 아녀도 네가 입으면 fashion week.

Girl, you put in work, 눈 감게 해 마치 church, yeah.

예쁜 여자는 많지만 네가 아님 안 되는 걸 넌 알아, you know it (You know it).

그래서 왠지 나는 늘 paranoid, yeah.

자꾸만 확인하게 되는 네 story, 복잡하지 내 머리.

갈 길 잃어버린 모습, got me feeling like 도리.

Sunrise in the A.M.

That's how you look every day, yeah.

너와 함께 매일 일어나고파.

Just say the word, I'm on my way to you, my boy (I'm on my way to you).

What's on your mind? Let's make it clear tonight (I'm on my way to you).

티 난지 오래야 (Uh), 네 맘을 말해줘 (말해줘, yeah).

더는 끌지 말고 (끌지), 셀게 지금부터 5초.

내 자신에게 물어봤지 내가 원하는 게 뭘까 is it love?

아님 썸 편안한 친구 같은 걸 I don't really know, but I can tell you babe.

One thing's for sure. 너 아님 모자라, yeah. 너 없으면 고장났네.

Whatever you like to speak it up.

What's the price? They ripped it off.

Main day, we vaca, H.B, Champagne, we sippin' on.

This lifestyle.

Moschi, Henny, Joe, we, 다른 남자들관.

비교하지마라 난 좀 달라.

햇살만은 널 기다렸어.

넌 내가 말하기도 전에.

어느샌가 날 깨운 이 설렘.

복잡했던 내 맘.

Baby, I just don't know why.

거칠었던 너의 두 눈에 빠졌던.

답을 알 수가 없게.
