[English]

Ha, c'mon, it's gonna be fucking hard

Special edition and your AI couldn't copy

I'm leaving clues in the  fittin' room and it's hot tea

No, I'm not thinking about  no exes, know they miss me

I got the whole world spinning like it's tipsy

Don't bore us, take it to the chorus

Who wanna rock with JENNIE? Keep your hair done, nails done like JENNIE

Who else got 'em obsessed like JENNIE? Like, like, like (JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE)

I think I really like (JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE) Haters, they don't really like (JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE)

'Cause they could never ever  be (JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE) 

But have you ever met JENNIE,  JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE? JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE

It's JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE

But have you ever met? But have you ever met?

But have you ever met?

Eolmal jwodo moshae seokeoseujis Pojinghanbeone mandeureo mosh pit

They can't deal with me 'cause I'm priceless Yeoreo selleopdeul soge nae DNA

Get, get outta my way Babiga cheokiga doegi jeone

Name, shame, blame tryna burst my bubble Teoteuryeobwa geureom deo keun horeseo

Mannaneun geoya jenireul Keep shading

Yesuljakpumen piryohae framei I've slayed it, and I graved it

Yes, I'm guilty jalnan ge joeni

Who wanna rock with JENNIE? Keep your hair done, nails done like JENNIE

Who else got 'em obsessed like JENNIE? Like, like, like

I think I really like JENNIE Haters, they don't really like JENNIE

'Cause they could never ever be JENNIE 

But have you ever met JENNIE,  JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE? JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE

It's JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE

Like JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE Rock with JENNIE 

Keep your hair done, nails done like JENNIE Who else got 'em obsessed, like

But have you ever met JENNIE? But have you ever met?

JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE It's JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE, JENNIE
