Because of you, I worry all day

I don’t really know what to do with you, oh

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, you

Play with me, play with me, play with me, play with me, play with me

Your gaze makes me dizzy and confused

It messes with my rational senses, oh

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, you

Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy (crazy, yeah!)

Like a mannequin doll

From start to finish, everything feels awkward (ha-ha-ha)

I’d be fine if I acted normally

But then I start dancing foolishly whenever I see you

My eyes, nose, mouth, expressions, arms, legs, steps

You never listen to me (dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb)

My heart pounding, my racing feelings

They won’t go my way (dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb)

Dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb, dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

I’ve dreamed of a romantic movie, but

Your love always makes me sweat, oh

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

You make me crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, hey!

Like a mannequin doll

From start to finish, everything feels awkward (ha-ha-ha)

I’d be fine if I acted normally

But then I start dancing foolishly whenever I see you (no)

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb (ooh-ooh)

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb (na-ah, ah, ah, ah)

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

You need to "Beat it"

That boy Michael Jackson "Bad"

I’m not your "Billie Jean"

Don’t you "Leave me alone"

But I want ambiguous reactions, "Black or White"

I can’t give up on my "Man in the Mirror"

"Why you wanna trip on me"

You're so mischievous

Boy, you make me "Scream"

Why do I do this to you?

In fact, your "Love really never felt so good"

That’s probably as exciting as watching the "Thriller"

It seems I can’t escape from you

Hating you doesn’t mean I dislike you

I want to be like that sister,

Why do you keep calling me cute? (No)

Like a younger sibling robot

From start to finish, everything feels awkward (ha-ha-ha)

What do I do? Am I broken? (I might be)

I’ve even forgotten how to breathe

My eyes, nose, mouth, expressions (oh no), arms, legs, steps (steps)

You never listen to me (dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb)

My heartbeat, my racing feelings

They won’t go my way (dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, oh)

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb, dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb, dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb, dumb-dumb (baby)

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb (dumb)

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb (I must be)

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb

Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)

너 땜에 하루 종일 고민하지만

널 어떡해야 좋을지 잘 모르겠어 난, oh

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, you

Play me, play me, play me, play me, play me

그 눈빛은 날 아찔하고 헷갈리게 해

내 이성적인 감각들을 흩어지게 해, oh

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, you

Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy (crazy, yeah!)

마네킹 인형처럼

하나부터 열까지 다 어색하지 (ha-ha-ha)

평소같이 하면 되는데

또 너만 보면 시작되는 바보 같은 춤

눈, 코, 입, 표정도, 팔, 다리, 걸음도

내 말을 듣지 않죠 (dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb)

심장의 떨림도, 날뛰는 기분도

맘대로 되질 않죠 (dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb)

낭만적인 영화를 난 꿈꿔왔지만

네 사랑은 내 손에 늘 땀을 쥐게 해, oh

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

You make me crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, hey!

You need to "Beat it"

That boy Michael Jackson "Bad"

난 너의 "Billie Jean"이 아냐

Don't you "Leave me alone"

하지만 애매한 반응 난 원해 "Black or white"

포기 못해 나의 "Man in the mirror"

"Why you wanna trip on me"

넌 너무 짓궂지

Boy, you make me "Scream"

너에게 왜 이러지?

하긴 너의 "Love 정말 never felt so good"

그건 아마 짜릿하다 못해 watching the "Thriller"

난 너에게서 헤어날 수 없나 봐

미워도 싫지가 않잖아

저 언니처럼 되고 싶은데

넌 자꾸 나를 귀엽다고 하는 걸까 왜? (No)

남동생 로봇처럼

하나부터 열까지 다 어색하지 (ha-ha-ha)

어떡하지? (하지?) 고장 났나 봐 (났나 봐)

숨을 쉬는 방법도 다 까먹었어 나

눈, 코, 입, 표정도 (oh no), 팔, 다리, 걸음도 (걸음도)

내 말을 듣지 않죠 (dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb)

심장의 떨림도, 날뛰는 기분도

맘대로 되질 않죠 (dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, oh)
