[English]

Practicing again in front of the mirror

Wide open your eyes

You like this kind of expression

Thinking about how to appear softer and more innocent

Trying to look effortless but stylish

You really don’t understand a woman's heart

Let me just say it now

Hold me even when I’m scared of myself

I’m dancing on your mind, you DUMB DUMB

I’m dancing on your mind, you DUMB DUMB

Pretending with all my soul, over the top

All this is for you in the end

DUMB DUMB DUMB

Don’t try to fool me with your innocent eyes

Let’s play DUMB DUMB DUMB

I don’t usually eat much because the portions are small, yeah

I can’t catch the brawl, it’s way too scary

Nah, I don’t have time for that

Tried to act like I was fine and rewind it

Again and again, the show's over, take it or leave it

It's about making love or just pretending

You really don’t understand a woman's heart

Let me just say it now

Hold me even when I’m scared of myself

I’m dancing on your mind, you DUMB DUMB

I’m dancing on your mind, you DUMB DUMB

Pretending with all my soul, over the top

All this is for you in the end

DUMB DUMB DUMB

Don’t try to fool me with your innocent eyes

Let’s play DUMB DUMB DUMB

Let’s play DUMB DUMB DUMB

Hey DUMB DUMB

Falling in love was all part of my plan, done, done

Hey DUMB DUMB

No need to try anymore, just tell me I’m the one

Hey DUMB DUMB

Falling in love was all part of my plan, done, done

Hey DUMB DUMB

No need to try anymore

I’m dancing on your mind, you DUMB DUMB

[Korean]

거울 앞에서 또 연습해

두 눈을 크게 떠

이런 표정을 넌 좋아해

어떻게 하면 더 연약해 청초해 보일까

안 꾸민 듯 꾸며보곤 해

여자의 마음을 너무 몰라 넌

Let me just say it now

두려운 내 모습까지 감싸 안아줘

난 네 머리 꼭대기에서 춤춰 you DUMB DUMB

난 네 머리 꼭대기에서 춤춰 you DUMB DUMB

영혼까지 끌어 떠는 내숭

결국 이게 다 널 위한 거야

DUMB DUMB DUMB

순수한 내 눈빛 보고 잔머리 굴리지 말고

Let’s play DUMB DUMB DUMB

원래 많이 못 먹어요 양이 적어서 yeah

벌렌 절대 못 잡아요 너무 무서워

Nah, I aint got time for that

Tried to act the part and rewind it back

Over and over, shows over, take or leave

It’s make love or, make believe

여자의 마음을 너무 몰라 넌

Let me just say it now

두려운 내 모습까지 감싸 안아줘

난 네 머리 꼭대기에서 춤춰 you DUMB DUMB

난 네 머리 꼭대기에서 춤춰 you DUMB DUMB

영혼까지 끌어 떠는 내숭

결국 이게 다 널 위한거야

DUMB DUMB DUMB

순수한 내 눈빛 보고 잔머리 굴리지 말고

Let’s play DUMB DUMB DUMB

Let’s play DUMB DUMB DUMB

Hey DUMB DUMB

네가 사랑에 빠진 건 내 계획대로 done done

Hey DUMB DUMB

이제 애쓰지 않아도 tell me that I’m the one one

Hey DUMB DUMB

네가 사랑에 빠진 건 내 계획대로 done done

Hey DUMB DUMB

이제 애쓰지 않아도

난 네 머리 꼭대기에서 춤춰 you DUMB DUMB
