This chest is dangerous

Shivering without reason

My curiosity is awakening

Like, oh

Exchanging glances

Just a look is enough to tease me

All will come in time

Like, oh

Fallin' down

In these twisted feelings

If you dive deeper, it's hell on earth Oh

Drawn into the trap of love

Again and again, we're attracted to each other

Holding onto what I love so tightly

Drowning in that heart of yours

Drawn into the trap of love

Again and again, we're attracted to each other

Once I've targeted you, I won't let go

Even if gentle, I'll steal you away

Hello, I'm an alligator (Watch out)

Taut and tense, full of tension (Danger)

Your heart, a digestive banger (Hoo)

Without hesitation, I take it away, raiders?

Once I aim, I won’t let go, alligator

My glowing eyes open wide in one breath

Beyond control, beyond control

My heart starts to rage

I can't control myself, yeah-yeah

Fallin' down, to the end of distant love

If you dive deeper, it's hell on earth Oh

Drawn into the trap of love

Again and again, we're attracted to each other

Holding onto what I love so tightly

Drowning in that heart of yours

Drawn into the trap of love

Again and again, we're attracted to each other

Once I've targeted you, I won't let go

Even if gentle, I'll take you away

My body just feels (It's our destiny)

I won’t flinch at the wind (Because it’s true love)

Hidden in the smile

Fierce emotions

Even I realize in the rain, oh

Drawn into the trap of love

Again and again, we're attracted to each other

Holding onto what I love so tightly

Drowning in that heart of yours

Drawn into the trap of love

Again and again, we're attracted to each other

Once I've targeted you, I won't let go

Even if gentle, I'll steal you away
