[English]

Yeah, yeah, yeah BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA!

Yeah, yeah, yeah

After a sweet "hi", there's always a bitter "bye" After every crazy high, there’s a price you have to pay

There’s no answer to this test I’ll always fall for it yes I’m a slave to my emotions, Sc*** this heartless love

Here I come kick in the door Give me the strongest one

So obvious, that love Give me more, give me some more

Cling onto the edge of the cliff if you want With just one word you're like starstruck again

That warm nervous feeling, extreme excitement Felt like heaven but you might not get in it

Look at me, look at you, who will be in more pain? You smart like who? You are

If you cry tears of blood from both eyes So sorry like who? You are

What should I do? I can’t stand myself being so weak While I force myself to cover my eyes

I need to bring an end to this love

Let's kill this love! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Rum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum

Let's kill this love! Rum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum

Feelin' like a sinner It's so fire with him I go boo, ooh

He said you look crazy Thank you baby

I owe it all to you Got me all messed up

His love is my favorite But you plus me

Sadly can be dangerous

Lucky me, lucky you After all, in the end we lie

So what? So what? If I end up forgetting you

So sorry I'm not sorry

What should I do? I can’t stand myself being so weak While I force myself to hide my tears

I need to bring an end to this love

Let's kill this love! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Rum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum

Let's kill this love! Rum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum

We all commit to love That makes you cry, oh, oh

We're all making love That kills you inside, yeah

We must kill this love (Yeah, yeah) Yeah, it's sad but true

Gotta kill this love (Yeah, yeah) Before it kills you too

Kill this love (Yeah, yeah) Yeah, it's sad but true

Gotta kill this love (Yeah, yeah) Gotta kill, let's kill this love!
