Lyrics & Translation

[Korean]

[English]

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, 귀엽게

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, cute

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, 예쁘게

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, pretty

Oh, 하루에도 열 번씩, 네 전화번호 지워보고

Oh, I erase your number ten times a day

너를 또 지워보고 생각에서 지워봐도

I try to erase you again from my thoughts

너의 번호 뒷자리에 내 가슴은 내려앉아

But my heart sinks when I see the last digit of your number

그렇게 통화하고, 다시 또 미소 짓고

We talk like that, then smile again

나는 네가 불안해, 그게 불만인데도

I'm anxious about you, even though it's not what I want

자존심 탓 때문에, 말도 못해 이렇게

Because of my pride, I can't even speak like this

내가 아님 안되는 남자 많고 많은데

There are so many men who are just not good enough for me

네가 숨기고 쓰는 문자가 신경 쓰여

It hurts to see you hiding and texting someone else

(문자가 신경 쓰여) 문자가 신경 쓰여

(Texting, yeah) Texting, yeah

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, 귀엽게

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, cute

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, 예쁘게

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, pretty

널 내게, 널 내게 다가오게 만들래

I want to make you come to me, make you come closer

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, 기대해

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, I’m waiting for you

너 땜에, 너 땜에, 미쳐가, whoa-oh-oh

Because of you, I’m losing my mind, whoa-oh-oh

너 땜에, 너 땜에, 미쳐가, whoa-oh-oh

Because of you, I’m losing my mind, whoa-oh-oh

내 앞에서 그 여자랑 다정하게 얘기하고

You’re happily talking with that girl in front of me

토라진 나를 보고, 별일 없이 미소 짓고

Seeing me sulk, you smile like nothing’s wrong

이런 기분 너무 싫어, 나 또 다시 널 잊으려

I hate feeling like this, trying to forget you again

잊으려 애를 쓰고, 그렇게 아파하고

Trying to forget, hurting so much

너란 남자 왜 그래? 너 때문에 난 미쳐

Why are you like this, man? Because of you, I go crazy

나 하나면 안 되니, 내 가슴은 찢어져

Am I not enough? My heart is torn apart

나만 보는 남자들, 많고, 많고, 많은데

There are so many men looking at only me

네 전화만 기다리는, 바보 같은 나는 뭐니?

And I’m just waiting for your call, stupid me

(바보 같은 나는 뭐니?) 바보 같은 나는 뭐니?

(What am I, a fool?) What am I, a fool?

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, 귀엽게

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, cute

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, 예쁘게

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, pretty

널 내게, 널 내게 다가오게 만들래

I want to make you come to me, make you come closer

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, 기대해

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, I’m waiting for you

너 땜에, 너 땜에, 미쳐가, whoa-oh-oh

Because of you, I’m losing my mind, whoa-oh-oh

너 땜에, 너 땜에, 미쳐가, whoa-oh-oh

Because of you, I’m losing my mind, whoa-oh-oh

I just want you to come to me

I just want you to come to me

다가와 봐, 내가 손짓 하잖니

Come closer, I’m waving my hand, see?

I just need you to give your love

I just need you to give your love

어서 내게, 네 마음을 보여줘, uh

Hurry up and show me your heart, uh

나 왜 이래? 내 마음은 고장 났어, 난

Why am I like this? My heart’s broken, I’m

나 왜 이래? 내 마음은 너만 찾아, 난

Why am I like this? Only you’re in my heart, I am

네가 미워, 미워 미치겠어도, 난

I hate you, even though it drives me crazy, I

너의 웃는 네 입꼬리에 (네 입꼬리에)

Smile at your cheerful lips (at your lips)

네 입꼬리에 (네 입꼬리에)

At your lips (at your lips)

네 목소리에, 네 목소리에, 네 목소리에

At your voice, your voice, your voice

난 가슴이 떨려

My heart flutters

널 내게 널 내게 다가오게 ooh-ooh-ooh (oh-oh-oh)

Come to me, make yourself come closer, ooh-ooh-ooh (oh-oh-oh)

널 내게 널 내게 미쳐보게, yeah-eh-eh (oh, whoa-oh)

Make me crazy, you, yeah-eh-eh (oh, whoa-oh)

나 없음, 나 없음, 안되게 널 만들래

If I’m gone, if I’m gone, I want to make you unable to leave

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, 기대해

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, I’m waiting for you

넌 내게, 넌 내게, 미쳐가, whoa-oh-oh

I believe in you, I believe in you, I’m going crazy, whoa-oh-oh

넌 내게, 넌 내게, 미쳐가, whoa-oh-oh

I believe in you, I believe in you, I’m going crazy, whoa-oh-oh

I'm gonna get to you

I'm going to get to you

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, 기대해

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, I’m waiting for you
