[English]

Whoa, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You're like a beautiful danger you can't look at

A shining halo so bright, even if I hide or cover my eyes

You're truly different, I can't escape from you

My pounding heartbeat ignites a fire, oh-oh-oh, more, oh-oh-oh

Oh no, my head's all messed up, yeah, today I feel crazy

You're so beautiful, I want to say it

The moment I meet your eyes, I didn't know before, you're my type

You're really a special treasure, yeah, I want to be the one who loves you

As if it were destined, yeah

Among countless people, only you stand out

I can make you happy, I have to be the one for you, girl

Open your heart, I just wanna be your boy

...

I'll be your boy

Open your heart

Be my, be my, be my girl (I'll be your boy)

Be my, be my, be my, I just wanna be your boy

Right now, right now, I feel like I might go blind

Incredible beauty (I'm so addicted to you, can't control)

Pulling at your scent at the tip of my nose, putting out fires, filling with love

I'm runnin' and runnin', and if it's for you, I'll risk everything, ride or die

As if it were destined, yeah

Among countless people, only you stand out

I can make you happy, I have to be the one for you, girl

Open your heart, I just wanna be your boy

...

I'll be your boy

Open your heart

Be my, be my, be my girl (I'll be your boy)

Be my, be my, be my, I just wanna be your boy

Shining anywhere, you're my queen

I'ma ride for you, I'ma ride or die for you, girl

Baby, I'll be yours, baby, I'll be yours

But you're so far away, now open your heart

(I'm gonna be your boy)

I'll be your boy

...

Be my, be my, be my girl (If my heart's the same)

Be my, be my, be my, I just wanna be your boy

I don't need anything else, just hold my hand and run

Shh, treasure

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) No-no-no-no-no-now

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Open your heart

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) No-no-no-no-no-now

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm gonna be your boy

...

[Korean]

Whoa, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

넌 마치 beautiful danger 쳐다볼 수 없어

너무 눈부신 halo 눈을 가려봐도 숨겨봐도

넌 정말 different 헤어나올 수 없어

터질듯한 내 heartbeat 불을 질러 oh-oh-oh 더 oh-oh-oh

Oh no, 온통 머릿속이 messed up, yo, 오늘따라 미치겠어

You're so beautiful 말하고 싶어

눈을 마주친 순간 이전의 난 몰랐었어 나의 타입

넌 정말 special treasure, yeah, I'm gonna be the one 너를 원해

운명이었던 것처럼, yeah

수많은 사람들 속 너만 보여

I can make you happy, 난 꼭 너여야만 해 girl

맘을 열어줘, I just wanna be your boy

I'll be your boy

맘을 열어줘

Be my, be my, be my girl (I'll be your boy)

Be my, be my, be my, I just wanna be your boy

지금 막 지금 막 눈이 멀어버릴 것만 같음

숨 막히는 아름다움 (I'm so addicted to you, can't control)

코끝에 당겨 너의 향기 불장난은 그만 사랑으로 채워 열기

I'm runnin' and runnin' and 널 위해서라면 난 전부 다 걸어 ride or die

운명이었던 것처럼, yeah

수많은 사람들 속 너만 보여

I can make you happy, 난 꼭 너여야만 해 girl

어디서든 빛나, 너는 나의 여왕

I'ma ride for you, I'ma ride or die for you, girl

Baby, I'll be yours, baby, I'll be yours

But you're so far away 이제 맘을 열어줘

(I'm gonna be your boy)
