Alright ok ok ok ok

Alright ok

BABYMONSTER

I got no worries on my mind

I won’t stop

So you can say goodbye

I’ll fulfill my fantasy

And you can watch and see

Give me a round of applause

It’s dazzling

They say she looks flawless

I know

I was born like this

She’s unlike anyone

It’s a frenzy everywhere

ABC, no manners

Gotta gotta go so c’est la vie

I’m dancing in the moonlight

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ay

Can’t stop this feeling tonight

What you waiting for

Baby it was all a dream

You thought I was yours

Don’t get the wrong idea

It’s bitter it’s sweet

Up in the high sky

I’m spreading my wings

Like I’m about to live

Forever

Like I’m gonna live forever

Forever

Like I’m, like I’m

Forever

Like I’m gonna live

Like I’m gonna live forever

OK you know what it is

I think it’s the difference between you and me

Pull up on me pay the price

Put a million on a rock, my type

Never seen it in your life

She’s pretty, that’s why I’m busy

No, it’s bad, the whole world is echoing

Bad girl

Key Grammar Structures

• 난 멈추지 않아

  ➔ Verb + -지 않다 (Negative form)

  ➔ This grammar expresses that the subject "does not" perform the action. The verb stem "멈추-" (to stop) is combined with "-지 않다" to form "멈추지 않다" (does not stop). In the sentence, "난 멈추지 않아" means "I don't stop."

• 멋대로 착각하지는 마

  ➔ Verb + -지 마 (Negative imperative/Prohibition)

  ➔ This structure is used to tell someone "not to do" something. The particle "-는" before "마" adds emphasis or contrast. "착각하지는 마" means "Don't misunderstand / Don't make a mistake (as you please)."

• 예뻐 그러니까 바빠

  ➔ A/V + -(으)니까 (Conjunction for reason/cause/consequence)

  ➔ The conjunction "그러니까" (so, therefore) connects two clauses, where the first clause states the reason or cause for the second clause. Here, "예뻐" (I'm pretty) is the reason for "바빠" (I'm busy).

• 저 하늘 높이

  ➔ Adjective stem + -이/히 (Adverbial form)

  ➔ This transforms an adjective into an adverb, modifying a verb or another adverb. "높다" (to be high) becomes "높이" (highly, up high). In the phrase, it means "high up in that sky." The highlighted word is "높이".

• 타고났지 Like this

  ➔ Verb/Adjective stem + -지 (Confirmation/Affirmation ending)

  ➔ The ending "-지" is commonly used to confirm a fact, express agreement, or show a mild assertion, often implying that the listener already knows or should know. "타고났지" means "(I was) born with it, right?" or "(I'm) naturally good, indeed."

• Like I’mma live Forever

  ➔ I'mma (Contraction of 'I am going to')

  ➔ "I'mma" is a colloquial contraction of "I am going to," used to express a future intention or plan. It is very common in informal speech and song lyrics. Here, it means "Like I am going to live forever."

• Roll up on ‘em with the motor running

  ➔ with + Noun + V-ing (Participial phrase)

  ➔ This construction describes a simultaneous action or state of something accompanying the main action. "the motor running" indicates that the motor is in the state of running while the main action ("Roll up") occurs.

• 세상이란 벽을 넘어서

  ➔ Verb stem + -아서/어서 (Connective ending for sequence or cause)

  ➔ This connective ending joins two clauses, indicating either a chronological sequence (doing A, then B) or that the first clause is the reason/cause for the second. Here, "넘어서" (crossing and then/by crossing) suggests an action that leads to something else.

• 온 세상 울리는 Bad girl

  ➔ Verb stem + -는 (Present descriptive form for modifying nouns)

  ➔ This grammatical form attaches to a verb stem to describe a noun by indicating an action that is currently happening or generally true. "울리는" (making ring/resonate) modifies "Bad girl," meaning "a bad girl who makes the whole world resonate."

• So you can say goodbye
