Pick the gold, come out, come out (Nope)

Pick the silver, come out, come out (Nope)

You come out, come out

Tuk-tuk, nice

Pick the gold, come out, come out (Nope)

Pick the silver, come out, come out (Nope)

Come out quickly now

Tuk-tuk, yes yes

Knock, knock, now come out

Take a look once

Aren't they coming out?

Maybe they didn't realize it's me

Now, look closely

I'll take care of everything here

I'm going to get everything ready to leave

I'm taking you along, holding on tight

You don't know what's inside me (No)

Seeing your heart, oh

Just a day or two, or once in a while, whatever

It's not, and I get surprised all over again

All eyes stop on my body and gaze with no consideration for my feelings

But, but, only you don't know why

You want me too, right?

Stop it, I know everything

Don't pretend you don't want me for no reason

Just listen, come out now

Are you listening? Come and show yourself

Look at me

Honestly, I'm a little nervous

It's taking too long

Take me right now

Come out quickly

Pick the gold, come out, come out (Nope)

Pick the silver, come out, come out (Nope)

You come out, come out

Tuk-tuk, nice

Pick the gold, come out, come out (Nope)

Pick the silver, come out, come out (Nope)

Come out quickly now

Tuk-tuk, yes yes

Take a look at me

See how I'm bouncing back

I'll hold you tight

You keep ignoring me

Just look at me

Don't pretend you don't care anymore

You'll regret it later

Get out and play a little more

You still don't see my true side

I'll show you everything I have

Don't hide from me while you still don't understand my feelings

I can't wait any longer, come in now

Your gaze that makes me dizzy

My heart stops again (Stops)

But, but, only you don't know why

Show that you want me

Stop it, I know everything

Don't pretend you don't want me for no reason

Are you listening? Come out now

Look at me

Honestly, I'm a little nervous

It's taking too long

Take me right now

Come out quickly

Pick the gold, come out, come out (Nope)

Pick the silver, come out, come out (Nope)

You come out, come out

Tuk-tuk, nice

Pick the gold, come out, come out (Nope)

Pick the silver, come out, come out (Nope)

Come out quickly now

Tuk-tuk, yes yes

Take a look at me

See how I'm bouncing back

I'll hold you tight

You keep ignoring me

Just look at me

Don't pretend you don't care anymore

You'll regret it later

Get out and play a little more

Maybe I’ll make a bigger move

Should I come closer and hold you tight?

Should I try once more more surely?

Without hesitation

Let's get fiery and play hard

Mom

Pick the gold, come out, come out (Nope)

Pick the silver, come out, come out (Nope)

You come out, come out

Tuk-tuk, nice

Pick the gold, come out, come out (Nope)

Pick the silver, come out, come out (Nope)

Come out quickly now

Tuk-tuk, yes yes

Take a look at me

See how I'm bouncing back

I'll hold you tight

You keep ignoring me

Just look at me

Don't pretend you don't care anymore

You'll regret it later

Get out and play a little more

Maybe I’ll make a bigger change
