[English]

Got room for one more

Oh I’m sorry, did I make you anxious?

Moving mysteriously like swish

Holding my breath, hunting like prey

In this repetitive power struggle, we take flight

Turn off the red siren, now it’s just you and me shhhh

No more sensations, no more pain

After all, it’s love or hate between you and me

Desiring and hating like crazy

Imma slay, Imma chill, Imma kill

Now the twist begins

Pull the trigger ya, pull it, pull it

We’re all psychos, half of us are crazy

Dudududu dudududu dudududu

Throw everything away (ya) (look at the end, look at the end)

Now take a shot (Take a shot)

Take a shot

No bad feelings (Check ‘em out, check ‘em out)

Now take a shot

That’s enough, that’s enough

Cruel and beautiful, love killa, love killa

Beautiful, love killa, love killa

Beautiful, love killa, love killa

Beautiful, love killa, love killa

(I’m falling in)

That's right, you look into my eyes

Straight into my eyes and just say

I want you to eat me like a main dish

It’s hot, feels like it’s burning

It ain’t cliché, a predictable ending, pass it

I want something more stimulating, hot (shhhh)

Sharpen it more

I'm a savage, your love is rare

Easily satisfying you, you’re not even close, umm

Imma slay, Imma chill, Imma kill

Now the twist begins

Pull the trigger ya, pull it, pull it

We’re all psychos, a fantastic fighter

Dudududu dudududu dudududu

Throw everything away (ya) (look at the end, look at the end)

Now take a shot (Take a shot)

No bad feelings (Check ‘em out, check ‘em out)

Now take a shot

That’s enough, that’s enough

Cruel and beautiful, love killa, love killa

Beautiful, love killa, love killa

Beautiful, love killa, love killa

The moment we aimed at each other (I’m falling in)

You know we can never let each other go

Someone who can handle this love, this situation

You know that yeah

You always (look at the end, look at the end)

I don’t think that’s bad either

No bad feelings (Check ‘em out, check ‘em out)

So, what’s next?

Cruel and beautiful, love killa, love killa

Beautiful, love killa, love killa

Beautiful, love killa, love killa

The moment we aimed at each other

Cruel and beautiful, love killa, love killa

Beautiful, love killa, love killa

Beautiful, love killa, love killa

Beautiful, love killa, love killa

(I’m falling in)

Hush hush, Imma take you down

Oh I’m sorry, did I make you anxious?

[Korean]

Got room for one more

Oh I’m sorry, did I make you anxious?

오묘하게 움직여 like swish

숨죽여 먹잇감을 사냥하듯이

반복되는 기싸움 속 우린 비상

빨간 사이렌도 꺼 이제 너와 나 shhhh

감각 따윈 없어 no more pain

어차피 너와 나는 love or hate

미친 듯이 원하고 증오해

Imma slay, Imma chill, Imma kill

지금부터가 반전

Pull the trigger ya, 땡겨 땡겨

우린 전부 psycho, 반쯤은 나 미쳐

Dudududu dudududu dudududu

모든 걸 다 던져 (ya) (끝을 봐 끝을 봐)

Now take a shot (Take a shot)

Take a shot

악감정은 없어 (Check ‘em out, check ‘em out)

Now take a shot

충분해 충분해

잔인하고 아름다워 love killa, love killa

아름다워 love killa, love killa

아름다워 love killa, love killa

아름다워 love killa, love killa

(빠져들어 난)

That's right, you look at my eyes

straight into my eyes and just say

I want you eat me like a main dish

뜨거워 데일듯해 hottish

It ain’t clićhe, 뻔한 결말 pass it

난 좀 더 자극적인걸 원해 hot (shhhh)

더 날카롭게 갈기 세워

I'm a sava savage, your love is rare

가뿐히 널 만족시키지, 넌 비슷하지도 umm

Imma slay, Imma chill, Imma kill

지금부터가 반전

Pull the trigger ya, 땡겨 땡겨

우린 전부 psycho, 환상적인 fighter

Dudududu dudududu dudududu

모든 걸 다 던져 (ya) (끝을 봐 끝을 봐)

아름다워 love killa, love killa

서로를 향해 겨눈 순간 (빠져들어 난)

알다시피 우린 절대 서로를 놓지 못해

이런 사랑 이런 상황 감당할 수 있는 사람

You know that yeah

넌 언제나 (끝을 봐 끝을 봐)

난 그것도 나쁘진 않아

악감정은 없어 (Check ‘em out, check ‘em out)

자, 이다음엔 뭐야
