[English]

Woo (no, no, no)

In the blink of an eye, you're checking it out again.

Stop staring at passing women.

Pretending not to hear, pretending not to see.

Your pointed sneer is weird, all of it, it’s all so weird (so so so).

Why not just be a little nice to me?

Your blunt tone hurts so much, I’m really hurt.

Getting used to this is the worst.

I really hate it, it makes me upset, all of it, it’s all so upsetting (so so so).

(Ooooh) Where are you looking?

(Ooooh) I’m right here.

Because of you, my heart’s armored, and now I’ll stand up to you.

Your arrow is trouble, trouble, trouble.

It aimed at me.

You shoot, shoot, shoot, and I go hoo, hoo, hoo.

Even with your poison-laced words, I get hurt, but I’ll give you a second chance.

You’re trouble, trouble, trouble again.

You waited for the right moment.

You shoot, shoot, shoot, and I go hoo, hoo, hoo.

...

Fallen deep into another woman’s trap.

Enough with the excuses, you still haven’t woken up.

A good woman wouldn’t date someone like you.

You’re impossible, forever, forever, you, you, you (you, you, you).

(Ooooh) Don’t be mistaken, you.

(Ooooh) Cupid isn’t you, you know.

Because of you, my heart’s armored, and now I’ll stand up to you.

Your arrow is trouble, trouble, trouble.

It aimed at me.

You shoot, shoot, shoot, and I go hoo, hoo, hoo.

Your poison-laced words hurt me.

Even after being hurt, I give another second chance.

You’re trouble, trouble, trouble again.

You waited for the right moment.

You shoot, shoot, shoot, and I go hoo, hoo, hoo (ooh, ooh).

To float in water, you need to sink.

The circle I made, but you’re sharp.

Answering only what I ask without asking.

Still, I won’t shoot arrows like you.

...

(Oh, yeah, yeah) Because of you, my heart’s armored.

And now I’ll stand up to you (I’ll stand up to you).

Your arrow is trouble, trouble, trouble.

It aimed at me.

You shoot, shoot, shoot, and I go hoo, hoo, hoo.

Your poison-laced words hurt me.

Even after being hurt, I give another second chance.

You’re trouble, trouble, trouble again.

You waited for the right moment.

You shoot, shoot, shoot, and I go hoo, hoo, hoo.

...

[Korean]

Woo (no, no, no)

눈 깜빡할 사이 넌 또 check it out

지나가는 여자들 그만 좀 봐

아닌 척 못 들은 척

가시 박힌 코웃음 이상해 다 다 다 (다 다 다)

조금만 내게 친절하면 어때?

무뚝뚝한 말투 너무 아파 난

이런 게 익숙해져 가는 건

정말 싫어 속상해 다 다 다 (다 다 다)

(우우우우) 어딜 쳐다봐?

(우우우우) 난 여기 있는데

너 때문에 내 마음은 갑옷 입고 이젠 내가 맞서 줄 게

네 화살은 trouble, trouble, trouble

나를 노렸어

너는 shoot, shoot, shoot, 나는 훗 훗 훗

독이 배인 네 말에 나 상처 입고도 다시 준 두 번째 chance

넌 역시 trouble, trouble, trouble

때를 노렸어

너는 shoot, shoot, shoot, 나는 훗 훗 훗

다른 여자의 함정에 푹 빠졌다니

변명 끝 넌 아직도 정신 못 차리고 있지

그 태도로 좋은 여자

못 만날 거다 영원히 넌 넌 넌 (넌 넌 넌)

(우우우우) 착각 마라 넌

(우우우우) 큐피드가 아냐 (너 말이야)

너 때문에 내 마음은 갑옷 입고 이젠 내가 맞서 줄 게

네 화살은 trouble, trouble, trouble

나를 노렸어

너는 shoot, shoot, shoot, 나는 훗 훗 훗

독이 배인 네 말에 나

상처 입고도 다시 준 두 번째 chance (다시 준 두 번째 chance)

넌 역시 trouble, trouble, trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, yeah)

때를 노렸어

너는 shoot, shoot, shoot, 나는 훗 훗 훗 (oh, ooh)

물속에서 뜨려면 가라앉게

내가 만든 circle 너는 각지게

묻지 않은 말에 대답만 또 해

그래도 난 너처럼 화살은 안 쏠게

(Oh, yeah, yeah) 너 때문에 내 마음은 갑옷 입고

이젠 내가 맞서 줄 게 (이젠 내가 맞서 줄 게)

네 화살은 trouble, trouble, trouble

나를 노렸어

너는 shoot, shoot, shoot, 나는 훗 훗 훗

독이 배인 네 말에 나

상처 입고도 다시 준 두 번째 chance

넌 역시 trouble, trouble, trouble

때를 노렸어

너는 shoot, shoot, shoot, 나는 훗 훗 훗
