[English]

Shhhhhhh

Guess who loves you, it's me, it's me

Should I show you? No, no

It's not the right time yet, I guess

Come a little closer, a little closer, then suddenly, whoosh

I'm gonna steal your heart

You're gonna love me

When it matters most, I show my teeth, that type

Even when our eyes meet,

I keep calm, no doubt

If loving you's a crime, then who’s the criminal?

You'll never know

Baby, you're confused, confused, confused, right?

In the end, it's mine, all mine, you'll become mine

Finally, finally, it's time to choose

It's already night again before you know it

I’m the mafia

Ma ma ma ma mafia, yeah, we do it like a mafia

I’m the mafia

Ma ma ma ma mafia, yeah, we do it like a mafia

Morning has come again

You don’t even know from last night

Who could it be? Mafia

Even when the day breaks, you still don’t know

Who could it be? Mafia

More than an actress, more than an actor

A fox playing with wolves

You probably won’t see the clues

But I have all the plans laid out, go!

Stop hesitating

Time to start the plan

Taking you away, stealing you away

Like a caper movie

Mysterious poker face

Conquer your heart's spot

Hurry up! Baby, catch me if you can, haha!

Baby, you're confused, confused, confused, right?

In the end, it's mine, all mine, you'll become mine

Finally, finally, it's time to choose

It's already night again before you know it

I’m the mafia

Ma ma ma ma mafia, yeah, we do it like a mafia

I’m the mafia

Ma ma ma ma mafia, yeah, we do it like a mafia

Who could it be? Mafia

The last night has deepened, Baby

After this night passes, only I will be by your side, yeah, yeah

Finally, the unavoidable morning comes

Hahaha

I’m the mafia

Ma ma ma ma mafia, yeah, we do it like a mafia

I’m the mafia

Ma ma ma ma mafia, yeah, we do it like a mafia

Morning has come again

You don’t even know from last night

Who could it be? Mafia

Even when the day breaks, you still don’t know

Who could it be? Mafia

[Korean]

Shhhhhhh

Guess who loves you 나야 나

Do I show you? No야 No

아직 Time이 아냐 난

좀 더 가까이 좀 더 가까이 그러다 갑자기 싹

I’mma steal it 마음을 훔쳐

You are gonna love me

결정적일 때 이빨을 드러내는 Type

나와 두 눈이 마주쳐도

난 흔들림이 없어 No

널 사랑하는 게 죄라면 범인은 Who?

You’ll never know

Baby 헷갈려 헷갈려 헷갈리겠지 넌

결국엔 내 거야 내 거야 내 게 되겠지 넌

이제 Finally finally 택할 시간이야

벌써 어느새 또 밤이 되었습니다

I’m the mafia

Ma ma ma ma mafia ya ya We do it like a mafia

I’m the mafia

Ma ma ma ma mafia ya ya We do it like a mafia

또 아침이 밝았습니다

어젯밤에도 You don’t even know

누구일까 Mafia

날이 밝아도 You don’t even know

누구일까 Mafia

배우보다 더 배우

늑대 가지고 노는 여우

전혀 안 보이겠지 Clue

하지만 나에겐 다 계획이 있다고 Go

그만 머뭇머뭇대

슬슬 작전 개시

너를 뺏어 뺏어 뺏어

Like a caper movie

알 수 없는 Poker face

점령해 네 맘속 Place

Hurry up! Baby, catch me if you can haha!

Baby 헷갈려 헷갈려 헷갈리겠지 넌

결국엔 내 거야 내 거야 내 게 되겠지 넌

이제 Finally finally 택할 시간이야

벌써 어느새 또 밤이 되었습니다

I’m the mafia

Ma ma ma ma mafia ya ya We do it like a mafia

I’m the mafia

Ma ma ma ma mafia ya ya We do it like a mafia

누구일까 Mafia

마지막 밤이 깊었어 Baby

이 밤이 지나면 네 곁엔 나 하나 Yeah yeah

마침내 피할 수 없는 아침이 와

Hahaha

Ma ma ma ma mafia ya ya We do it like a mafia
