[English]

She got me gone crazy woo

Why is my heart racing?

You are beautiful, my Goddess

It's not closed, yeah yeah

I'll knock, will you let me in?

I'll give you the hidden thrill

With the curiosity in your eyes, you're already falling

Don't be afraid

Love is the way

Shawty, I got it

You can call me monster

I'm creeping in your heart, babe

Turning it upside down, breaking it, swallowing it

Yeah, I'm stealing you, indulging in you

I'll ruin you

Imprinted in your heart

Even if I die, I want to live forever

Come here, girl

You call me monster (You call me monster)

I'll enter your heart

She got me gone crazy (Oh yeah, she got me)

Why is my heart racing? (Oh yeah, she got me)

I can be a bit impatient

Not really gentle

I hated you

But I want you

That's right, my type

My heart doesn't lie

It's started within me

Sending dangerous signals

Don't be afraid

Love is the way

Shawty, I got it

You can call me monster

I'm creeping in your heart, babe

Turning it upside down, breaking it, swallowing it

Yeah, I'm stealing you, indulging in you

I'll ruin you

Imprinted in your heart

Even if I die, I want to live forever

Come here, girl

You call me monster

I'll enter your heart

The thrill comes, turning your life upside down

I'm sorry, you make me so crazy, you know you do

Everyone fears me, so I'm an untouchable man

But why can't your true feelings ultimately reject me?

Hiding and stealing glances, surprised (Who?)

To you, I'm like an antinomy, a part of your existence (How we do?)

Accept me as I am

Put aside your fearful worries

Enjoy the pain you can endure

Falling deeper

I'll play with you as I please, let you play in my hands

Don't run away, you'll forever circle around

You can call me monster

I'm creeping in your heart, babe (yeah yeah yeah)

Turning it upside down, breaking it, swallowing it (yeah yeah yeah)

Yeah, I'm stealing you, indulging in you

I'll ruin you

Imprinted in your heart

Even if I die (forever) I want to live forever

Come here, girl

You call me monster (You call me monster)

I'll enter your heart

Creeping, creeping, creeping

Creeping, creeping, creeping

You creeping

...

[Korean]

She got me gone crazy woo

왜 심장이 뛰니

넌 아름다워 나의 Goddess

닫혀있지 Yeah yeah

두드릴 테니 날 들여보낼래?

감춰진 스릴을 줄게

눈동자의 호기심에 이미 넌 빠져들었고

Don't be afraid

Love is the way

Shawty I got it

You can call me monster

I'm creeping in your heart babe

뒤집고 무너트리고 삼켜

그래 널 훔쳐 탐닉해

널 망쳐 놓을거야

네 맘속에 각인된 채

죽어도 영원히 살래

Come here girl

You call me monster (You call me monster)

네 맘으로 들어갈게

She got me gone crazy (Oh yeah she got me)

왜 심장이 뛰니 (Oh yeah she got me)

내가 좀 성격이 급해

그닥 온순하지 못해

널 미워했어

하지만 너를 원해

That's right my type

가슴은 거짓말 안 해

시작됐어 내 안에서

위험한 신호를 보내

Don't be afraid

Love is the way

Shawty I got it

You can call me monster

I'm creeping in your heart babe

뒤집고 무너트리고 삼켜

그래 널 훔쳐 탐닉해

널 망쳐 놓을거야

네 맘속에 각인된 채

죽어도 영원히 살래

Come here girl

You call me monster

네 맘으로 들어갈게

전율이 와 네 삶을 다 뒤집어 버리는게

I'm sorry you make me so crazy, you know you do

모두 날 두려워해 so I'm untouchable man

근데 네 진심은 왜 결국에 날 거부 못해

숨어서 훔쳐보다가 깜짝 놀라지 (Who?)

네겐 안티노미 같은 난 네 존재의 일부 (How we do?)

날 그대로 받아들여

너의 두려운 걱정은 접어두렴

네가 견딜만한 고통을 누려

더 깊이 빠져들어

널 맘대로 가지고 놀아 내 손에서 맘껏 놀아

도망가지마 넌 영원히 맴돌아

You can call me monster

I'm creeping in your heart babe (yeah yeah yeah)

뒤집고 무너트리고 삼켜 (yeah yeah yeah)

그래 널 훔쳐 탐닉해

널 망쳐 놓을거야

네 맘속에 각인된 채

죽어도 (영원히) 영원히 살래

Come here girl

You call me monster (You call me monster)

네 맘으로 들어갈게

Creeping, creeping, creeping

Creeping, creeping, creeping

You Creeping
