[English]

If you don’t know, now you know

Ok? Deal

Mysterious mood, sticky glances (Huh)

Oh yeah (I like that)

Bet everything, you stole my heart (Huh)

What do you want? (Secret)

Don’t you really wanna feel alive?

Flip that until morning

Simple childish games

I want something deeper, you know what I mean, huh?

A strong attraction is coming

I still can't tell if you're bluffing

But a different feeling's coming

My heart's beating now, hidden in the darkness

I'm falling into your sweet smile

I'm mesmerized by your trick

Trying to push you away

Trying to forget you

But my shaking heart, calling me now

Zero zero lucky bang

My suit is black, my suit is fresh

Open my pack, let me show you how I swing

If you go all in, it’s a winning game

The game is already on, because I’m making moves, it’s a race

What you do, they don’t know what you’re up to

Holding you in my hand with a poker face

Me? I’m a handsome sum of money

I’ve got a Vesper Martini, hoo

My pockets overflowing with C-notes or dinero

Always sharp, my look changes perfectly

Nice and sassy, the compliments that follow me

Always in season, the flavor’s maximum, huh

Ripened too much, it’s falling apart, drop by drop

Hot as °F

Falling deeper in that sweet kiss

I’m mesmerized by your trick

Trying to stop me

Trying to get away from you

But my shaking heart, calling me now

Zero zero lucky bang

My suit is black, my suit is fresh

Open my pack, let me show you how I swing

If you go all in, it’s a winning game

The game’s already racing because I’m making moves

What you do, they don’t know what you’re up to

Holding you in my hand with a poker face

Dance

Hold up

She’s gone

It’s over

Yeah, hoo

With strong confidence, I realize now

I finally figured out your bluffing

At the moment I fell for you

Trapped on that red lip that made me fall

Laying my heart on the line

Even if I lose everything in a second

This heart caught in the trap, killing me now

Baby, baby, aw

Show me something, girl, you wanna be like

My suit is black, my suit is fresh

Open my pack, let me show you how I swing

You don’t know how to take me yet

Because love is a gamble

Just want to say

If you don’t know, now you know

Deal?

[Korean]

If you don’t know, now you know

Ok? Deal

오묘한 기류 끈적이는 눈빛 (Huh)

Oh yeah (I like that)

모든 걸 베팅해 내 맘을 빼앗은 너 (Huh)

What you want? (Secret)

Don’t you really wanna feel alive?

아침까지 flip that

낯간지러운 불장난

I want something deeper you na mean hah?

강한 끌림이 와

아직은 알 수 없어 너의 bluffing

But 다른 느낌이 와

어둠에 감춰놓은 my heart is beating now

So sweet 한 네 미소 속에 난 빠져들어

너의 trick에 난 홀려

널 밀어내려 해봐도

널 잊어보려 해봐도

흔들리는 이 맘 callin’ me now

Zero zero lucky bang

My suit is black, my suit is fresh

Open my pack, let me show you how I bang

All in 했다면 다 이기는 game

일 벌리는 대로 판은 이미 race

What you do, they don’t know what you do

널 손에 잡은 채 난 poker face

Me? I’m a handsome sum of money

I got a vesper martini, hoo

주머니엔 흘러 넘쳐나는 c-note or dinero

언제나 깔끔하게 바뀌는 나의 fit

Nice and sassy 날 따라오는 수식어

All-time on season 맛은 huh maximum

무르익다 못해 떨어지네 뚝뚝

Hot as °F

So sweet 한 입맞춤 속에 더 빠져들어

너의 trick에 난 홀려

날 멈추려고 해봐도

널 벗어나려 해봐도

흔들리는 이 맘 callin’ me now

Zero zero lucky bang

My suit is black, my suit is fresh

Open my pack, let me show you how I bang

All in 했다면 다 이기는 game

일 벌리는 대로 판은 이미 race

What you do, they don’t know what you do

널 손에 잡은 채 난 poker face

Dance

hold up

She’s gone

It’s done

yeah hoo

강한 확신에 난

이제야 알아냈어 너의 bluffing

반한 순간에 날

걸리게 만든 새빨간 lip 위에 trap

내 심장을 걸어놓고

한순간 다 뺏긴대도

덫에 걸린 이 맘 killin’ me now

Baby, baby aww

Show me something girl you wanna be like

My suit is black, my suit is fresh

Open my pack, let me show you how I bang

You don’t know how to take me yet

Cuz love is a gamble

Just I wanna say

If you don’t know, now you know

Deal?
