[English]

BOYNEXTDOOR, representing KOZ, word up

Which outfit should I choose? Let me pick one

Black is so simple, matching with a little pop of color, uhm

Walking around, I pick the first thing I wore

Sprayed some perfume, give it a quick check, it’s perfect, yeah

I’m fresh and so clean, looking sharp

Step outside the door, and everything changes, face

When taking photos, I act smooth, pretend not to notice

Hello world, this is BOYNEXTDOOR

I don’t feel like going home early

It’s a fabulous day, 24/7

Don’t just leave me alone

I’ll be your ideal type

Come on over before you head somewhere else

Listen, I’m the one and only

The one and only

There’s no one else, just a bore

Kikikiki, keep ballin’

Listen, I’m the one and only

Uh uh, naturally snatched

Uh uh, where did she go, lady?

Listen, I’m the one, yeah

Yeah, walking down Main Street

My reflection in the shop window

Better than any other brand

Strutting with confidence

Even with a bucket hat, I turn heads

Sunglasses on, but you can’t erase my aura

I just released a new vibe

Gotta show off a bit

Limited edition, I told you I’m the only one

I don’t feel like going home early

It’s a fabulous day, 24/7

Oh, I can’t stay still, I

I’m not just a stereotype

Come on over before you head somewhere else

Listen, I’m the one and only

The one and only

There’s no one else, just a bore

Kikikiki, keep ballin’

Listen, I’m the one and only

Uh uh, naturally snatched

Uh uh, where did she go, lady?

Listen, I’m the one, yeah

Knock knock, knocking at your door

Knock knock, knocking at your door

(Knock knock here)

Knock knock, knocking at your door

(Who’s there?)

Knock knock, knocking at your door

(The BOYNEXTDOOR)

We aren’t all the same, but I can be anything

If you don’t know now, you better realize

Listen, I’m the one and only

The one and only

There’s no one else, just a bore

Kikikiki, keep ballin’

Listen, I’m the one and only

Uh uh, naturally snatched

Uh uh, where did she go, lady?

Listen, I’m the one and only

BOYNEXTDOOR, representing KOZ, word up

어느 옷을 고를까나 let me choose one

블랙은 so simple 깔 맞춤은 조금 튀어 uhm

돌고 돌아 처음 입은 걸로 pick

향수 칙하고 이 한번 확인 it’s perfect yeah

Imma fresh so clean 너무 말끔해

문밖을 나서니까 바로 바뀌어 face

사진 찍힐 땐 스무스하게 딴청 해
