[English]

My eyes automatically go to you

It's not like I notice the pattern of your clothes or anything

Even when I’m busy doing other things all day long

This person really is pretty great

I keep wavering about your every move

I'm not someone who laughs this often

Looking back, I’ve suffered a lot because of you

But I don’t dislike any of it, one by one

I love you, oh-oh, I love you

Even on days I see you when we’re not just hanging out

I try so hard to look good only for you, I really do

I love you, oh-oh, I love you

Even on days I see you when we’re not just hanging out

It makes me so nervous, I swear

I keep wavering about your every move

I'm not someone who laughs this often

Looking back, I’ve received so much because of you

More, more, I couldn’t give up

I’m overflowing with love just for you

I want to pour it into your glass

I'm waiting for you to say "I love..."

You, oh-oh, I love you, oh-oh

Even on days I see you when we’re not just hanging out

I try so hard to look good only for you, I really do

I love you, oh-oh, I love you

Even on days I see you when we’re not just hanging out

It makes me so nervous, I swear

I love you

I love you, whoa, whoa

I love you (I love you)

I love you, whoa, whoa

I love you, oh-oh, I love you

Even on days I see you when we’re not just hanging out

I swear I get so excited

I love you

I love you

[Korean]

저절로 네게 눈이 가

네가 입은 옷 무늬가 눈에 띄는 것도 아닌데

온종일 다른 일을 하고 있는 중에도

이 사람 참 괜찮단 말이야

네 행동 하나하나에 내가 들렸다 놓였다해

나 이리 자주 웃는 사람이 아닌데

돌아보면 너 때문에 당한 것도 많아

그 모든게 하나하나 다 싫지만은 않아

I love you, oh-oh, 사랑해요, oh-oh

널 보는 날이면 둘만 만나는 날이 아닌데도

너에게만 잘 보이려고 막 그래 난 그래

I love you, oh-oh, 사랑해요, oh-oh

널 보는 날이면 둘만 만나는 날이 아닌데도

막 설레고 그런다니깐요

네 행동 하나하나에 내가 들렸다 놓였다해

나 이리 자주 웃는 사람이 아닌데

돌아 보면 너 때문에 받은게 참 많아서

더, 더, 더 포기할 수 없었어요

써요, 나만 마시는 사랑이 넘쳐요

그대 잔에 따라주고 싶은데

I'm waiting for you to say "I love..."

You, oh-oh, 사랑해요, oh-oh

널 보는 날이면 둘만 만나는 날이 아닌데도

너에게만 잘 보이려고 막 그래 난 그래

I love you, oh-oh, 사랑해요, oh-oh

널 보는 날이면 둘만 만나는 날이 아닌데도

막 설레고 그런다니깐요

I love you

I love you, whoa, whoa

I love you (I love you)

I love you, whoa, whoa

I love you, oh-oh, 사랑해요, oh-oh

널 보는 날이면 둘만 만나는 날이 아닌데도

막 설레고 그런다니깐요

I love you

I love you
