[English]

Hey, hey, hey

AOA

Hey, hey, hey

Brave Sound (Drop it)

The way you look at me

You’re not the same as before

I’m still worth it

Why do you treat me like an old shoe, hey

I look so pretty, no matter what I wear

I look so sexy, even without showing skin

My dizzying high heels, black stockings

You won’t be able to take your eyes off me (Don’t stop me)

Wearing a miniskirt

When I walk down the street, everyone stares at me

Wearing a miniskirt

But why are you the only one who doesn’t notice me?

I’m a confident woman

Why do you make it hard for me?

You only ignore me

I’m unpredictable

I get my nails done, change my hair

I wear new shoes, try on a miniskirt for no reason

But you don’t notice, why are you so indifferent?

Snap out of it before other wolves take me away, boy

I look so pretty, no matter what I wear

I look so sexy, even without showing skin

My dizzying high heels, black stockings

You won’t be able to take your eyes off me (Don’t stop me)

Wearing a miniskirt

When I walk down the street, everyone stares at me

Wearing a miniskirt

But why are you the only one who doesn’t notice me?

I’m a confident woman

Why do you make it hard for me?

You only ignore me

I’m unpredictable

I’m getting more and more tired

Even the way you look at me

I don’t know why it’s so cold

Now I’ll change, oh, oh, yeah

I’m a confident woman

Why do you make it hard for me?

You only ignore me

I’m unpredictable

...

[Korean]

Hey, hey, hey

AOA

Hey, hey, hey

Brave Sound (Drop it)

날 바라보는 시선이

너는 예전 같지가 않은 걸

난 아직도 쓸만한데

너는 왜 날 헌 신 짝 보듯이 해 hey

너무이뻐 보여 내가 뭐를 입던지

너무 섹시해 보여 굳이 노출 안 해도

아찔한 나의 하이힐 새까만 스타킹

도저히 눈을 뗄 수 없을 걸 (말리지마)

짧은 치마를 입고

내가 길을 걸으면 모두 나를 쳐다봐

짧은 치마를 입고

근데 왜 하필 너만 날 몰라주는데

당당한 여잔데

왜 나를 힘들게 해

넌 나만 무시해

어디로 튈지 몰라 나

시간 내 nail 받고 머릴 바꿔봐도

새 구두 신고 괜히 짧은 치말 입어 봐도

넌 몰라봐 왜 무덤덤해 왜

딴 늑대들이 날 물어가기 전에 그만 정신 차려 boy

너무이뻐 보여 내가 뭐를 입던지

너무 섹시해 보여 굳이 노출 안 해도

아찔한 나의 하이힐 새까만 스타킹

도저히 눈을 뗄 수 없을 걸 (말리지마)

짧은 치마를 입고

내가 길을 걸으면 모두 나를 쳐다봐

짧은 치마를 입고

근데 왜 하필 너만 날 몰라주는데

당당한 여잔데

왜 나를 힘들게 해

넌 나만 무시해

어디로 튈지 몰라 나

난 점점 지쳐가

날 바라보는 그 눈빛마저도

왜 그리 차가운지 모르겠어

이제 변할 거야 oh, oh, yeah

당당한 여잔데

왜 나를 힘들게 해

넌 나만 무시해

어디로 튈지 몰라 나
