[English]

Let's go

S.I.S.T.A.R, Sistar

Baby stop breakin' my heart (oh no)

You heard me, no more next time

I hope you got that boy

Hey girls, it's gon' be alright

Hey boys, better make it right

Hey girls, we got ya back

Got ya back, got got got ya back (oh, come on)

I said you would know without me saying

You must know how I feel

So I trusted and waited

You said you wouldn't leave me alone

We promised, we made a pinky swear

But why are you lying again?

Is it that hard to say I love you?

Just one word is enough

You keep changing

I'm getting a bit tired of it too, oh oh

The more time passes, the less I understand

The more I like you, the more it hurts

(Why you trippin' boy)

Look at me

Oh ma boy, oh ma boy baby

What do you know about love?

Only my heart is hurting

Oh ma boy, oh ma boy baby

How do you know my heart? Don't let me down, boy

I'm going crazy because of you

Why try'n play games with me?

Because of you, I go up and down several times a day

UP & DOWN, don't let me down,

I cry every night, no no

Stop breakin' ma heart

You don't even know how I feel and look away

I got what you looking for

Don't look away

This is my last warning, oh no

This gon' be the last time

Is it that hard to say I love you?

Just one word is enough

You keep changing

I'm getting a bit tired of it too, oh oh

The more time passes, the less I understand

The more I like you, the more it hurts

(Why you trippin' boy)

Look at me

Oh ma boy, oh ma boy baby

What do you know about love?

Only my heart is hurting

Oh ma boy, oh ma boy baby

How do you know my heart? Don't let me down, boy

Woo boy, the more I like you

Woo boy, you don't know my hurting heart

A small whisper in my heart

Sometimes a warm gaze looking at me

That's all I need, I only want you

You still don't know my heart

Oh ma boy, oh ma boy baby

What do you know about love?

Only my heart is hurting

Oh ma boy, oh ma boy baby

How do you know my heart?

Don't let me down, boy, ma boy

말하지 않아도 알 수 있다 했잖아

내 맘 어떤지 넌 알고 있겠지

그래서 믿고 참고 기다렸지

혼자 두지 않겠다고 했잖아

약속했었지 손가락 걸었지

그런데 왜 또 거짓말을 해

사랑한다는 말 그리 어렵니

한마디 말이면 되는걸

너 자꾸 변해가

나도 이젠 조금 지쳐가 Oh Oh

시간이 갈수록 더 모르겠어

좋아질수록 나는 더 아픈데

(Why you trippin' boy)

날 좀 바라봐

Oh ma boy, oh ma boy baby

니가 무슨 사랑을 알아

내 맘만 아파

Oh ma boy, oh ma boy baby

니가 어떻게 내 맘을 알아, Don't let me down Boy

너 때문에 내가 미쳐

why try'n play games with me?

너로 인해 하루에도 나는 몇 번씩

UP & DOWN, Don't let me down,

난 울어 매일 밤 No No

Stop breakin' ma heart

너는 내 기분도 모르고 눈 돌려

I got what you lookin' for

한눈팔지 마

이게 내 마지막 경고 oh, no

This gon' be the last time

사랑한다는 말 그리 어렵니

한마디 말이면 되는걸

너 자꾸 변해가

나도 이젠 조금 지쳐가 Oh Oh

시간이 갈수록 더 모르겠어

좋아질수록 나는 더 아픈데

(Why you trippin' boy)

날 좀 바라봐

Oh ma boy, oh ma boy baby

니가 무슨 사랑을 알아

내 맘만 아파

Oh ma boy, oh ma boy baby

니가 어떻게 내 맘을 알아, don't let me down Boy

Woo boy, 더 좋아질수록

Woo boy 아픈 내 맘을 아니 너

내 맘에 작은 속삭임

때론 나를 보는 따뜻한 눈길

그거 하나면 돼 오직 너만 원해

아직도 너만 내 맘 모르잖아

Oh ma boy, oh ma boy baby

니가 무슨 사랑을 알아

내 맘만 아파

Oh ma boy, oh ma boy baby

니가 어떻게 내 맘을 알아

Don't let me down Boy, Ma Boy
