[English]

Say! What are you doing? - Growing more every day without saying a word

I guess I can't go on like this - How did I end up like this

Falling for you? - I don’t even know the reason myself

Why do you keep lingering around me? - Everything I do makes me curious about you

No matter what I do, I wonder about you - Why do you keep circling around me?

Oh what should I do? - I keep thinking about you

Say! What are you doing? Say! What are you doing? - If I keep going like this, I’ll end up looking like a fool

Don’t let me be tempted - Should I say it, should I try to say it?

The person kept in my heart - you are my only one

Even if I love you so much - I find myself crying

Those words come out - I just don’t understand

But the moment I see you - Tears fill my eyes

Love seems to be in these tears - Why do you keep circling around me?

No matter what I do, I get curious - Whatever I do, I keep wondering about you

All I think about is you. I keep - leaning in for a kiss

Say! What are you doing? Say! What are you doing? - If I keep going like this, I'll look like a fool for my wandering eyes

Should I say it, should I try to say it - The person kept in my heart, you are my only one

Even if I’m awkward in every way - I just want to stay by your side

That’s what I want - Could it be love? It must be love

I want to be your, your man

Say! What are you doing? Say! What are you doing? - All the love coming to me is the one called

Your name - Say! What are you doing? Say! What are you doing?

The person kept in my heart - you are my only one

[Korean]

아무 말 없이 내게서 커져만 가는 게

아무래도 이대론 안 되겠어 어쩌다 내가 이렇게

네게 빠진 건지 이유를 나도 모르겠어

넌 왜 내게서 맴돌아 뭘 해도 신경도 쓰이고

뭘 해도 궁금해지고 넌 왜 내게서 맴돌아

oh 어떡해 나 자꾸만 생각이나

말해! 뭐해?, 말해! 뭐해? 이러다가 바보처럼

한눈팔게 하지 말고 말해볼래, 말해볼래

나의 맘에 담긴 사람 you are my only one

너무나 사랑을 해도 눈물 난다는 게

그런 말이 나 이해가 되지 않아

하지만 그댈 본 순간 두 눈 가득 고인

눈물이 사랑인 것 같아 넌 왜 내게서 맴돌아

뭘 해도 신경도 쓰이고 뭘 해도 궁금해지고

난 너 하나만 생각해. 이렇게 난 자꾸만 입 맞추고

말해! 뭐해?, 말해! 뭐해? 이러다가 바보처럼 한눈팔게 하지 말고

말해볼래, 말해볼래 나의 맘에 담긴 사람 you are my only one

내 모든 게 서툴다 해도 네 곁에 나 머물고만

싶어지는 게 사랑일까 사랑일 거야

너의, 너의 남자 되고 싶어

말해! 뭐해?, 말해! 뭐해? 내게 오는 사랑은 다

그대라는 이름인걸 말해! 뭐해?, 말해! 뭐해?

나의 맘에 담긴 사람 you are my only one
