[English]

Ain't nobody, yeah

Ain't nobody, yeah, only you I see here

Ain't nobody, yeah

Ain't nobody, yeah, you know you're the hottie, yeah

Yeah, I keep getting drawn to you, too insidious

Yeah, my eyes are stolen, eyes locked onto you

You're the kind of muse that I admire

You inspire, yeah

Oh my, drop it like it's too hot

A tangy type, too much stimulation

This is fine dine, just good time

My mouth waters, a lemon drop is the perfect palate cleanser

You're too naughty to put into words

When your gaze zaps me, a parade in my mind

I hope you'll take responsibility for my barely excited heart

We're sweet and sour, then a period

Yeah, here and there, ooh

Just those kinds of fools

Don't worry, I'm the opposite, ooh

I ain't like that, ooh

The heat of a hot summer night

Just you and me, our own party

Yeah, feel the heat going crazy

Cheers to this night, raise your glass

Lemon drop, lemon drop, closer

A little bit closer

Tequila, tequila sunrise

We're staying up till sunrise

Lemon drop, lemon drop, closer

A little bit closer

Tequila, tequila sunrise

Stay up all night till sunrise

Ain't nobody, yeah

Ain't nobody, yeah, only you I see here

Ain't nobody, yeah

Ain't nobody, yeah, you know you're the hottie, yeah

Oh my, drop it like it's too hot

A tangy type, too much stimulation

This is fine dine, just good time

My mouth waters, a lemon drop is the perfect palate cleanser

You're too naughty to put into words

When your gaze zaps me, a parade in my mind

I hope you'll take responsibility for my barely excited heart

We're sweet and sour, then a period

We take it slow, slow, slow

I got what you want, want, want

No matter what anyone says

Just as you wish

Come and slide in

The heat of a hot summer night

Just you and me, our own party

Yeah, feel the heat going crazy

Cheers to this night, raise your glass

Lemon drop, lemon drop, closer

A little bit closer

Tequila, tequila sunrise

We're staying up till sunrise

Lemon drop, lemon drop, closer

A little bit closer

Tequila, tequila sunrise

Stay up all night till sunrise

Ain't nobody, yeah

Ain't nobody, yeah, only you I see here

Ain't nobody, yeah

Ain't nobody, yeah, you know you're the hottie, yeah

Ain't nobody, yeah

Ain't nobody, yeah, you know you're the hottie, yeah

Yeah, 자꾸만 너에게 끌려, too insidious

Yeah, 시선을 빼앗겨버려, eyes locked onto you

You're the kind of muse that I admire

You inspire, yeah

Emergency, emergency, you put me in an emergency

사랑은 완벽하진 않지만 focus on me

온몸이 떨려 네 소리가 내게는 반주같이

쓰고 달고 그래 한 상에 차려진 luxury

넌 너무 나빠

더는 자극하지 마, brr, da-da

풀고 감아 돌리고 다시 담아

Cassette tape 같은 그저 그런 영화 여기저기, ooh, 그저 그런 fools

걱정 마 난 그 반대, ooh

I ain't like that, ooh, yeah

뜨거워 여름밤 열기

너와 나 둘만의 party

Yeah, I feel the heat going crazy

Cheers to this night, 잔을 위로 Lemon drop, lemon drop, closer

조금 더 closer

Tequila, tequila sunrise

We're staying up 'til sunrise

Lemon drop, lemon drop, closer

Tequila, tequila sunrise

Stay up all night 'til sunrise

Ain't nobody, yeah

Ain't nobody, yeah, 너만 보여 여기에

Oh my, drop it like it's too hot

시큼한 type, 자극 too much

이건 fine dine, just good time

침이 고여 막 입가심은 lemon drop

입에 담기엔 넌 너무 naughty

눈빛 찌릿하면 머릿속에 parade

겨우 들뜬 맘 책임지길 바라

We're sweet and sour, then a period

We take it slow, slow, slow

I got what you want, want, want

누가 뭐래도, 도, 도

Key Grammar Structures

• 너만 보여 여기에

  ➔ -만 (only) + Passive Voice (보이다)

  ➔ The particle "만" attaches to nouns or pronouns to mean "only" or "just". "보여" is the passive form of "보다" (to see), meaning "to be seen" or "to appear". So, "너만 보여" means "only you are seen" or "only you appear".

• 자꾸만 너에게 끌려, too insidious

  ➔ 자꾸만 (repeatedly/constantly) + ~에게 끌리다 (to be drawn to)

  ➔ "자꾸만" emphasizes the repeated or continuous nature of an action, meaning "repeatedly," "constantly," or "again and again." "끌려" is the passive form of "끌다" (to pull), often used idiomatically as "~에게 끌리다" to mean "to be drawn to" or "to be attracted to" someone/something.

• 시선을 빼앗겨버려, eyes locked onto you

  ➔ ~아/어버리다 (completion/regret) + Passive Voice (빼앗기다)

  ➔ The auxiliary verb pattern "~아/어버리다" indicates that an action has been completed, often with a nuance of regret, finality, or intensity. "빼앗겨" is the passive form of "빼앗다" (to snatch/take away), meaning "to be snatched/taken away." So, "시선을 빼앗겨버려" means "(my) gaze was completely snatched away (by you)," implying an uncontrollable attraction.

• 입에 담기엔 넌 너무 naughty

  ➔ ~기에/엔 (for doing/being X, it's Y; in order to do X)

  ➔ "~기에/엔" (or "~하기에는") is used to express that something is (or is not) suitable for a certain action or condition. It implies 'for the purpose of doing X, it is Y'. Here, "입에 담기엔" means "for putting into words" or "for me to say," implying the person is too "naughty" to be described easily or appropriately.

• 눈빛 찌릿하면 머릿속에 parade

  ➔ ~(으)면 (if/when)

  ➔ The conditional ending "~(으)면" is used to indicate that if the preceding action or state occurs, the following action or state will result. It can mean "if," "when," or "once." Here, "눈빛 찌릿하면" means "if (your) eyes sparkle (or give a sudden glance)."

• 겨우 들뜬 맘 책임지길 바라

  ➔ ~(으)ㄹ/길 바라다 (to hope/wish for something to happen)

  ➔ "~(으)ㄹ/길 바라다" expresses a strong desire or hope for a certain action or state to occur. "길" is a contraction of "것을." So, "책임지길 바라" means "I hope/wish (you) take responsibility." The addition of "겨우" (barely/with difficulty) emphasizes the difficulty of managing the excited heart.

• 누가 뭐래도-도-도

  ➔ ~래도 (colloquial contraction of ~라고 해도 / ~라고 하더라도)

  ➔ "~래도" is a common colloquial contraction of "~라고 해도" or "~라고 하더라도," meaning "even if one says (that)" or "no matter what one says." In this context, "누가 뭐래도" means "no matter what anyone says" or "even if anyone says anything."

• 너 원하는 대로-로-로

  ➔ ~(으)ㄴ/는 대로 (as, according to, just as)

  ➔ "~(으)ㄴ/는 대로" is used to indicate that an action is performed or a state exists "according to" or "as" a preceding action or state. It means "just as," "as soon as," or "following." Here, "원하는 대로" means "as you wish" or "according to what you want."

• 너와 나 둘만의 party

  ➔ ~만의 (only for/of, unique to)

  ➔ "~만의" attaches to nouns or pronouns to indicate exclusivity, meaning "only for," "unique to," or "specific to" the preceding subject. It emphasizes something belonging or applying solely to that entity. Here, "둘만의 party" means "a party just for the two of us."
