[English]

I’m not who I used to be, brand new sound

With the new me, let’s go one more round

Dance, dance, dance 'til we take over this town

Oppa oppa, I’ll be, I’ll be down, down, down, down

Oppa, look at me, just watch me now

It’s the first time I’m saying this, ha

I’ve done my hair and put on makeup

So why are you the only one not noticing?

My heart’s pounding, it’s trembling

I keep imagining it over and over

What should I do? I used to be so proud

I want to say it

Oh-oh-oh-oh, I love you, oppa

Ah-ah-ah-ah, say it lots and lots

I’m so shy, please don’t laugh

Are you sincere? Don’t tease me

I just keep saying stupid stuff again

I’m not who I used to be, brand new sound

With the new me, let’s go one more round

Dance, dance, dance 'til we take over this town

Oppa oppa, I’ll be, I’ll be down, down, down, down

Oppa, wait, wait, just listen for a moment

Stop saying the same thing over and over

Don’t think of me just as your younger sibling

In a year, you’ll regret it

I don’t know, I don’t know, you have no idea about my feelings

You keep playing dumb and joking around

What to do, you so clueless, hey

Listen, really

Oh-oh-oh-oh, I love you, oppa

Ah-ah-ah-ah, say it lots and lots

I’m so shy, please don’t laugh

Are you sincere? Don’t tease me

If you do that again, I might cry

...

I’m not who I used to be, brand new sound

Today’s feeling is so different, it’s burning hot

Don’t delay to the next, next, get angry

Oppa oppa, not like this, no, no, no, no

Tell me, boy, boy

Love it, it, it, it, it, it, it, ah

Oh-oh-oh-oh, I love you, oppa

Ah-ah-ah-ah, say it lots and lots

Oh-oh-oh-oh, I love you, oppa

Ah-ah-ah-ah, say it lots and lots

Again, just more silly talk

...

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I love you, oppa

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, say it lots and lots

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I love you, oppa

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, say it lots and lots, oh

...

[Korean]

전에 알던 내가 아냐 brand new sound

새로워진 나와 함께 one more round

Dance, dance, dance 'til we run this town

오빠 오빠 I'll be, I'll be down, down, down, down

오빠 나 좀 봐 나를 좀 바라봐

처음이야 이런 내 말투 ha

머리도 하고 화장도 했는데

왜 너만 너만 모르니

두근 두근 가슴이 떨려와요

자꾸 자꾸 상상만 하는 걸요

어떻게 하나 콧대 높던 내가

말하고 싶어

Oh-oh-oh-oh 오빠를 사랑해

Ah-ah-ah-ah 많이 많이 해

수줍으니 제발 웃지 마요

진심이니 놀리지도 말아요

또 바보 같은 말 뿐야

전에 알던 내가 아냐 brand new sound

새로워진 나와 함께 one more round

Dance, dance, dance 'til we run this town

오빠 오빠 I'll be, I'll be down, down, down, down

오빠 잠깐만 잠깐만 들어봐

자꾸 한 얘기는 말고

동생으로만 생각하진 말아

일 년 뒤면 후회 할 걸

몰라 몰라 내 맘을 전혀 몰라

눈치 없게 장난만 치는 걸요

어떻게 하나 이 철없는 사람아

들어봐 정말

Oh-oh-oh-oh 오빠를 사랑해

Ah-ah-ah-ah 많이 많이 해

수줍으니 제발 웃지 마요

진심이니 놀리지도 말아요

또 그러면 나 울지도 몰라 oh

전에 알던 내가 아냐 brand new sound

뭔가 다른 오늘만은 뜨거운 마음

다음 다음 미루지 마 화만 나

오빠 오빠 이대로는 no, no, no, no

Tell me, boy, boy

Love it, it, it, it, it, it, it, ah

Oh-oh-oh-oh 오빠를 사랑해

Ah-ah-ah-ah 많이 많이 해

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 오빠를 사랑해

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah 많이 많이 해

또 바보 같은 말 뿐야

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 오빠를 사랑해

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah 많이 많이 해

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 오빠를 사랑해

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah 많이 많이 oh
