[English]

Hey, boy

Who do you think you are?

My head is so messy

It feels like I'm broken

Mayday

Because of you

I think I'm losing my mind

I think I’m falling in love with you

What should I do?

I must be going crazy

I think of you every chance I get

I keep finding myself

Smiling all alone

This version of me feels so unfamiliar

Tell me now

You want it too

Don't hesitate anymore

Just take courage

Before the darkness fades away

One more chance

Set my heart on fire

I don’t wanna let you go

Every day, day after day, in my ear

Tell me that you miss me

Woo woo woo

Woo woo woo

Woo woo woo woo woo woo

Woo woo woo

Woo woo woo

Woo woo woo woo woo woo

It’s a kind of love

Got me thunderstruck

I can’t get enough of you ooh ah

Boy, you’re really like one in a milli

Never gon let it fizzle out

You got me all in my feelings

Our love is the realest

And that’s how we ride

Never alone, never wondering

Cause you forever my future

Tell me now

You want it too

Don't hesitate anymore

Just take courage

Before the darkness fades away

One more chance

Set my heart on fire

I don’t wanna let you go

Every day, day after day, in my ear

Tell me that you miss me

Woo woo woo

Woo woo woo

Woo woo woo woo woo woo

Woo woo woo

Woo woo woo

Woo woo woo woo woo woo

How you feel like that

My heart beats fast

And you love like that

The moment I've been waiting for

When I'm with you, my heart flutters

And I can’t get enough

Cause the light won’t go down

I la-la-like it

I la-la-like it

I like it like it when I’m next to you

[Korean]

Hey, boy

넌 뭔데

머릿속이 복잡해

내가 고장 나 버린 듯

Mayday

너 땜에

정신 나간 거 같애

I think I’m falling in love with you

어떡해 나

미쳤나 봐

틈만 나면 네 생각을 해

자꾸 혼자

웃음이 나

이런 내가 낯설기만 해

Tell me now

너도 원하잖아

더 이상 망설이지 마

용기를 좀 내봐

어둠이 끝나가기 전에

One more chance

내 맘에 불을 질러줘

I don’t wanna let you go

내 귀에 매일 또 매일

보고 싶다 말을 해줘
