Lyrics & Translation

[English]

The way you stare at me

You’re not the same as before

I’m still okay

Why do you look at me like I’m a worn‑out pair of shoes, hey

You look so gorgeous, no matter what I wear

You look so sexy, even without any reveal

My dizzying high heels and jet‑black stockings

I just can’t take my eyes off you (don’t try to stop me)

Wearing a short skirt

When I walk down the street, everyone looks at me

Wearing a short skirt

But why is it only you who pretends not to notice me?

I’m a confident woman

Why do you make things hard for me?

You only ignore me

I have no idea where I’ll end up

Even if I take time to get my nails done and change my hair

Even if I put on new shoes and wear a short skirt for no reason

You ignore me, why are you so indifferent?

Before other wolves bite me, pull yourself together, boy

You look so gorgeous, no matter what I wear

You look so sexy, even without any reveal

My dizzying high heels and jet‑black stockings

I just can’t take my eyes off you (don’t try to stop me)

Wearing a short skirt

When I walk down the street, everyone looks at me

Wearing a short skirt

But why is it only you who pretends not to notice me?

I’m a confident woman

Why do you make things hard for me?

You only ignore me

I have no idea where I’ll end up

I’m getting more and more tired

Even the gaze that looks at me

I don’t understand why it’s so cold

I’ll change now, oh, oh, yeah

I’m a confident woman

Why do you make things hard for me

You only ignore me

I have no idea where I’ll end up

[Korean]

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

• 너는 예전 같지가 않은 걸

  ➔ Negation with -지 않다 and nominalizer -것 (걸)

  ➔ "같지" is the stem of "같다" plus the negation marker "-지 않다"; the ending "걸" is a contracted form of "것을", nominalising the clause.

• 난 아직도 쓸만한데

  ➔ Concessive connective -ㄴ데

  ➔ "쓸만한데" attaches the connective "-ㄴ데" to the adjective "쓸만하다", indicating a contrast or reservation ("but it is usable").

  ➔ Indeterminate choice with -던지

  ➔ "입던지" attaches the ending "-던지" to the verb "입다", meaning "whether I wear (it) or not / no matter what I wear".

• 도저히 눈을 뗄 수 없을 걸 (말리지마)

  ➔ Potential form -수 있다/없다 and speculation -ㄹ 걸

  ➔ "뗄 수 없을" uses the potential "-ㄹ 수 있다/없다" to indicate inability; "걸" is a contracted "것을" expressing speaker's speculation "you shouldn't stop me".

  ➔ Contrastive connective -는데

  ➔ "몰라주는데" adds the connective "-는데" to "몰라주다", indicating a contrast or unexpected situation ("but you still ignore me").

• 시간 내 nail 받고 머릴 바꿔봐도

  ➔ Trial expression -아/어 보다 and concessive -어도

  ➔ "바꿔봐도" combines the trial suffix "-아/어 보다" (to try) with the concessive "-어도" (even if), meaning "even if I try changing my hair".
