[English]

Why do you think like that about nude?

Because your view is so rude

Think outside the box

Then you'll like it

Hello my name is Yuppie yuppie yo

My tone is kind of dumb, but my body is sexy, sexy yo

Then with a tiara with diamonds

Will I even smile? Will I even smile?

A twisted Lorelei, don’t need no man

A bookworm crazy about philosophy, self-made woman

So absurd in this story without manners

Spectators booing, you tricked me, you’re a liar

Ah, a stripped naked movie star

Ah, a night where the starlight is shattered

Even if I look pathetic, even if I fall apart

Even if I can never be loved again

Yes I’m a nude

Nude ta-da-da-da

Yes I’m a nude

Nude I don’t give a love

Baby how do I look, how do I look

Wearing my beautiful self, ta-da-da-da

Baby how do I look, how do I look

Wearing my beautiful self, ta-da-da-da

(Ouch!)

Excuse me, everyone here

If you were expecting a lewd piece

Oh I’m sorry, there’s nothing like that

Refunds are over there, information the public isn’t interested in

Even if you throw that popcorn, I’m unfazed

My score is inversely proportional to happiness

But my peak, your prejudice that you made up is nauseating

Ah, a stripped naked movie star

Ah, a night where there’s nothing more to be ashamed of

Even if I look pathetic, maybe even to you

Even if I can never be loved again

Yes I’m a nude

Nude ta-da-da-da

Yes I’m a nude

Nude I don’t give a love

Baby how do I look, how do I look

Wearing my beautiful self, ta-da-da-da

Baby how do I look, how do I look

Wearing my beautiful self, ta-da-da-da

Um ha um ha um ha um

Yes I’m a nude

Now I draw a luxury nude

Why do you think like that about nude?

Because your view is so rude

Think outside the box

Speak frankly

My beautiful nude

My beautiful nude

I’m born nude

You're the pervert

Rude

Nude

[Korean]

Why you think that ’bout nude

’Cause your view’s so rude

Think outside the box

Then you’ll like it

Hello my name is 예삐 예삐요

말투는 멍청한 듯 몸매는 섹시 섹시요

그럼 다이아 박힌 티아라 하나에

내가 퍽이나 웃게 퍽이나 웃게

뒤틀려버린 로렐라이 Don’t need no man

철학에 미친 독서광 Self-made woman

싸가지없는 이 Story에 무지 황당한

야유하는 관객들 You tricked me you’re a liar

아 발가벗겨져 버린 Movie star

아 별빛이 깨져버린 밤

꼴이 볼품없대도 망가진다 해도

다신 사랑받지 못한대도

Yes I’m a nude

Nude 따따랏따라

Yes I’m a nude

Nude I don’t give a love

Baby how do I look, how do I look

아리따운 날 입고 따따랏따라

Baby how do I look, how do I look

아리따운 날 입고 따따랏따라

(Ouch!)

실례합니다 여기 계신 모두

야한 작품을 기대하셨다면

Oh I’m sorry 그딴 건 없어요

환불은 저쪽 대중은 흥미 없는 정보

그 팝콘을 던져도 덤덤

행복과 반비례 평점

But my 정점 멋대로 낸 편견은 토할 거 같지

아 발가벗겨져 버린 Movie star

아 더 부끄러울 게 없는 밤

꼴이 볼품없대도 어쩌면 네게도

다신 사랑받지 못한대도

Yes I’m a nude

Nude 따따랏따라

Yes I’m a nude

Nude I don’t give a love

Baby how do I look, how do I look

아리따운 날 입고 따따랏따라

Baby how do I look, how do I look

아리따운 날 입고 따따랏따라

Um ha um ha um ha um

Yes I’m a nude

Now I draw a luxury nude

Why you think that ’bout nude

’Cause your view’s so rude

Think outside the box

까고 말해

아리따운 나의 누드

아름다운 나의 누드

I’m born nude

변태는 너야

Rude
